The young entrepreneur credited as the brains behind Facebook Inc.’s virtual reality headset was accused in court of betraying a company that had worked with him to display the technology at a trade show.
Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey, whose startup was bought by the social media giant for about US$2bil (RM8.89bil) in 2014 when he was 21, didn’t dispute that he used software developed by ZeniMax Media Inc to show the prototype for his headset to investors in a California hotel room two years earlier. That was shortly after ZeniMax had demonstrated the device publicly at a Los Angeles video game expo with Luckey’s permission.
