The original creator of the Oculus headset, which now serves as the backbone for Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse ambitions, wrote in a blog post that he had modified a VR headset to explode when the wearer loses in a video game, killing the user in real life, too.In the post, titled "If you die in the game, you die in real life," Luckey said he was inspired to create the deadly gaming device by a fictional VR headset called "NerveGear" featured in an anime television series called Sword Art Online.Here are the specifics of the invention:Luckey said that unlike the fictional version of NerveGear, he could not figure out how to kill the wearer with "powerful microwaves," instead, he used explosives for his morbid creation."When an appropriate game-over screen is displayed, the charges fire, instantly destroying the brain of the user," Luckey wrote.Facebook, which is now Meta, disputed Palmer's claim, saying his departure was "unequivocally" not due to his political beliefs."
