Oculus announced today that CEO Brendan Iribe has been transferred from today to be responsible for a new internal PC virtual reality department. The CEO position is temporarily vacant, and Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer is responsible for finding heirs. Oculus Rift inventor Palmer Luckey continues to stay in the company, but the new position has not yet been announced. Not only that, Oculus will split from the inside, one part focused on desktop-based VR like Rift, and the other part focused on mobile VR.
In the official statement, Iribe said that this position change is to make himself better involved in the development of Oculus. His original words are: "As the company grows, I really miss the time to build a new technology. The experience of a new product. "The PC-side VR department he will be responsible for is designed to further advance VR through our Rift, research and computer vision." Previously, the research department was led by Oculus chief scientist Michael Abrash, who will now be directly led by airborne Iribe.
In the new Oculus division, the Mobile VR division will be headed by Jon Thomason, who recently joined the company, and his current position is Oculus' software director. Previously Oculus' mobile VR development was led by CTO John Carmack, who partnered with Samsung to launch Gear VR in 2014. A spokesperson for Oculus said that Carmack's role in the mobile VR team will not change. Oculus is said to continue to work with Samsung to develop mobile VR, but the company has recently announced a self-developed head-on prototype that does not rely on smartphones, so Oculus's plans for mobile VR are still unclear.
Iribe said the company's creation of an independent division for mobile and PC-side VR will help focus more research and more robust development, and will accelerate the company's expansion. And he said that this is also in line with Facebook's blueprint for its acquisition of Oculus in 2014. "Facebook is very committed to the long-term VR business, building the next generation of powerful computing platform for people and anyone, anywhere. Any experience is naturally one of Facebook's next steps. Facebook also has its own social VR department, and also invested in a lot of VR-related media, such as panoramic video.
Iribe also mentioned that after the release of Oculus's Touch Motion Controller, the company's first-generation desktop VR system was successfully completed. Now the company will continue to open new hardware projects and develop a virtual reality software ecosystem, so the company's restructuring is now very reasonable.
And the Trump supporters of the Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey have also been confirmed by the Trump supporters in the Silicon Valley Corgi. The spokesman said that he will continue to work in Oculus and the job position will change. The details will be Released soon. Luckey didn't appear at this year's Oculus Connect conference, and has been quiet on social networks for a long time.
