`
`John put together a short note for the Oculus community:
`
`“I have fond memories of the development work that led to a lot of great
`things in modern gaming – the intensity of the first person experience, LAN
`and internet play, game mods, and so on. Duct taping a strap and hot gluing
`sensors onto Palmer’s early prototype Rift and writing the code to drive it
`ranks right up there. Now is a special time. I believe that VR will have a huge
`impact in the coming years, but everyone working today is a pioneer. The
`paradigms that everyone will take for granted in the future are being figured
`out today; probably by people reading this message. It’s certainly not there
`yet. There is a lot more work to do, and there are problems we don’t even know
`about that will need to be solved, but I am eager to work on them. It’s going to
`be awesome!”

`
`If you’re unfamiliar with John’s background, John co-founded id Software,
`served as lead programmer on Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and the Quake series,
`and is one of the pioneers of 3D graphics. When John’s not working on
`revolutionizing video games or computer graphics, he can be found coding at
`Armadillo Aerospace.
`
`If you’ve been following Oculus since the launch of the Kickstarter campaign
`(or before that on MTBS3D), you know that John has been a part of this
`project and a true believer in the future of virtual reality since the beginning.
`He was the very first developer to actually integrate the Rift into a game, back
`when the hardware was just a hand-held prototype without an SDK.

`
`John will be working from the new Oculus Dallas office that we’re opening

`interested, check out the Oculus Careers page.
`
`Please join us in welcoming John to the Oculus family! You can follow John at
`@ID_AA_Carmack on Twitter.
`
`Happy anniversary to our Kickstarter backers! We’ve come a long a way in 1
`year, and we can’t wait to show you where we’re headed next. This is just the
`beginning.
