Oculus founder Palmer Luckey<\/a> has announced he is working on a new head-mounted display (HMD) for both military and non-military use.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

During a fireside chat at the 2024 Augmented World Expo<\/a> (AWE), Luckey was upfront that the headset would be “driven” by military requirements but have the versatility to do non-military stuff. <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea8 Breaking @PalmerLuckey<\/a> announces that he is working on a new headset on stage at #AWE2024<\/a> that has both military and non military applications. This in response to the question what would you do if you were starting fresh pic.twitter.com\/OZrv6wKtJW<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Jesse Nowlin\ud83c\udf99Google Cloud Champion Innovator (@MrJNowlin) June 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“…I’m actually building a new headset right now,” Luckey explained during the panel. “It’s driven by military requirements, but it’s also going to be used for non-military stuff. And it’s really cool, it’s really something.” <\/p>\n

Luckey teased earlier this month<\/a> that he was working on a new HMD and would formally announce the device at AWE. However, the extent to which the headset would be used in a non-military capacity was not further elaborated on.<\/p>\n

Luckey is well-known in the virtual reality industry for releasing the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset<\/a>. Luckey founded Oculus in 2012; roughly two years later the company was acquired by Meta (then known as Facebook) for $2 billion<\/a>. In 2017, Luckey left Facebook<\/a>. Neither party explained Luckey’s departure, but it came amid controversial political donations during the 2016 U.S. presidential election<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following his departure from Facebook, Luckey co-founded Anduril Industries, a military defense technology company. Luckey recently dipped his toes back into the consumer hardware space, as earlier this month he revealed the ModRetro Chromatic<\/a>, a $199 handheld shaped like a GameBoy featuring a backlit display and the ability to play Game Boy, and Game Boy color cartridges. Like its competitor, the Analogue Pocket<\/a>, the ModRetro Chromatic supports FPGA-based emulation. <\/p>\n
