This is very, very different from what Kurzweil is doing at Google.
- briantakita 13y agoTrue, Oculus has more focus & a narrower scope. Though, we will see what a $2B valuation does to a "clearly defined" mission. The VR market has to be grown, after all. Google is expanding it's efforts in new markets that require substantial technical vision. Same with Oculus. Kurzweil is the "Director of Engineering" at a company without a CTO. Surely, there's some similarities in their roles. Not a 100% match, but some interesting similarities.
