oculus rift gdc 2013 interview palmer luckey nate mitchell
Looking for a 5 minute ‘interview’ montage about the Oculus Rift? You won’t find it here. I sat down with Palmer Luckey (Founder) and Nate Mitchell (VP of Product) at GDC 2013 for an 18 minute chat about the Oculus Rift.

For those of you who shared your questions on Reddit, I do apologize that I wasn’t able to include all of them in the interview. There were some 130 comments on the thread and there’s no way I could use them all! But I do thank you for contributing and I incorporated those questions where I could.

    Best GDC interview of the boys so far, even if the audio is a bit crappy :)
