the crowd-funding site
Kickstarter.
Big beasts
Mr Luckey's efforts have already
convinced some of the PC games
industry's leading figures who
agreed to appear in a promotional
video. They include:
John Carmack, creator of the
Doom series and co-founder of
Id Software
Gabe Newell, chief executive of
Valve, the firm behind Half Life
and Portal
Cliff Bleszinski, design director
at Epic Games, the maker of the
Unreal Engine that powers
Batman: Arkham City and a
wide range of other titles
Mr Carmack announced in May that
his firm was developing a version
of Doom 3 which would be
compatible with head-mounted
displays.
He told The Verge tech site at the
time that he finally felt that VR
technology was getting to the point
that it could be viable at a
reasonable price point.
