Its really cool, and im right here with you. Its so fun to have the rift next to me seeing him build it again. Look little buddy, thats your grandpa haha. You inherited the built in speakers from the sony too, I guess thats your grandma? But in seriousness, his predictions remain spot on, I mean you really could see the writing on the wall if you had the tiniest bit of vision. AR remains the direction with the best commercial potential, but the dream of the holodeck is his, and my, passion as he says. So you can see exactly how we got here, and thats really cool. His insights into pulling code from low level stuff that was still assuming it needed to wait for phosphors to dissipate because the were written in the age of the CRT is so obvious in hindsight, but was such an important and visionary thing to have come in and done. Like, this stuff had been around how long, and nobody had done it? Seeing the whole pipeline as one coherent chain and having the broad low level aptitude to get in there and bust up and rebuild the weakest links till it was a strong cable, like, his work is literally why VR is viable today and every headset owes him that legacy. And thats not even his highest contribution, the man is actually a genius. Someone once said its like Tesla and Hawking came down but instead of unlocking all the secrets of the universe and taking over the world they got really into virtual worlds instead, and it really feels very true. So glad to have him, he really does deserve all he credit, praise and general good feelings he gets. Extraordinary person.

"I forgot to put you in God mode" I have no doubt Carmack has the power to do just that.

Here is an old quote from him: _"Honestly, I spend very little time thinking about past events, and I certainly don't have them ranked in any way. I look back and think that I have done a lot of good work over the years, but I am much more excited about what the future holds."_ (Video Games Daily, 2006-01-03).

Carmack is a guy who could have done anything he wanted in the world of mathematics and science, and I also think he did.

Not only did he bring new life to VR with his 2012 prototype but he imagined solutions to shortcomings that weren't even present yet. It was brought to my attention that Lucky Palmer designed this prototype and that John Carmack presented the device at E3 2012 as shown here. The more you know.

TwilightVomit Can you really call someone a nerd when you yourself have a channel that promotes gaming?

You know, it irks me when people say John Carmack is a robot or alien. He's just a dude. He's not a super savant, he's pretty grounded. My brother and I used to work at a cafe in Dallas and he would pop by with his family. He's just a dude and creative in a right brained organized way. ♥

Genius at work, hope they are in the market soon.

that was a great watch thanks for uploading. He is mor intrested in holodeck stuff, nicemaybe he can make the first steps in this direction. That would be awesome.

I could listen to Carmack talk all day.

I can hardly wait!

John Carmack was (is) always a visionary.

Seeing VR with that headset I was using too ten years ago and a 360 pad is interesting. Also understanding how 3D TV had its issues even back then... A lot of companies would have saved money there to hear what he's saying here.

John Carmack always seems so enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of technology and specifics with others. I love it.

Ancient egyptians pursued transcendence through leaving behind gigantic stone monuments. This guy reaches transcendence through leaving awesome technology in this world which will make kids all over the world happy for generations and generations. What a badass.

When you hear a genius speak. Most may not understand a word. But to those who do, they become immediately entranced.
