A Tease of Palmer’s Next Project
MoguraVR:
Palmer, what is the technology you currently are the most paying attention to?
Palmer Luckey:
Of course its VR!
MoguraVR:
I thought so [laughs]. Within it is there any branch you specifically pay more attention to?
Palmer Luckey:
[After worrying for a while] I can’t say anything at the moment. The only thing I can say is that I am trying to once more change VR.
MoguraVR:
That sounds very impressive. I am looking forward to finding out what exactly it is. For the last question, are you going to visit [the anime festival] Machi Asobi again? And when are you going to come to Japan again?
Palmer Luckey:
If I can connect it with Unite [Unity’s developer conference] and other events I definitely will go to Machi Asobi again next year. The next time I will be in Japan will most likely be around the time of the Tokyo Game Show. I think I want to visit Japan more often, as I said in the beginning of this interview; I am devoted to my work. Coming to Japan primarily is for me to have fun… I said I want to increase the frequency of my visits, but I won’t be able work much, it is a shame that this conflict exists within me. I have thought about living in Japan and supporting the Japanese VR community full time. Although I could not do it due to various circumstances, I still am thinking about supporting the Japanese VR developer community in some way.
