Virtual reality glasses with which if you die in the game - you die in reality (@fullsquadgamingclips)
Palmer Lackey - the father of virtual reality, founder and designer of Oculus Rift (the company he sold to Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion with technology rebranded as the basis for Meta) - revealed his new creation in the world of virtual reality: VR glasses that make sure that if you die in the game, you die Even in the real world.
He's also currently working on an update that will mean you can't remove the glasses until the game is over - a bit like a trap from Saw.
Lucky said in the post that he is halfway to completing his killer glasses, which he calls NerveGear, with the ready-to-use part being the part that blows up the player's forebrain.
These virtual reality glasses are actually normal glasses with three explosive charges attached to them.
The charges, which are equipped with a photo sensor, are supposed to activate and kill the player when he dies in any game he chooses to play (and maybe he should try Animal Crossing games and less Dark Souls).
The explosives are supposed to act to kill the player when the screen flashes red at a certain frequency, which the game designers will have to implement in their game.
"The idea of tying your real life to your virtual avatar has always fascinated me - you immediately raise the stakes to the maximum level and force people to fundamentally rethink how they interact with the virtual world and the players within it," Lucky wrote in the post, "High graphics can make a game look real more, but only the threat of dire consequences can make a game feel real to you and everyone else in the game. This is an area of video game mechanics that has never been explored, despite the long history of real-world sports revolving around similar risks."

No need to stress - yet.
Lucky, who created the glasses as an homage to the Japanese anime series "Sword Art Online" (Sword Art Online) which uses similar technology, claims that his work on the glasses is far from finished: "So far I've only been able to decipher the half that kills you. It's not a perfect system, of course I have plans for an anti-tamper mechanism that will not allow the glasses to be removed or destroyed."
@technality The co-founder of Oculus, Palmer Luckey, says he's fascinated by the idea of linking your real life to your virtual avatar.
So he went ahead and designed a VR headset that would kill the player instantly if they died in the game.
Luckey, who sold Oculus to Meta for 2 billion dollars in 2014, described his invention in a blog post titled: "If you die in the game, you die in real life."

Get another reason not to stress: Lucky reassured and said that the glasses "at this point" are just a work of art.
He added: "At this point it's a piece of office art, a thought-provoking reminder of unexplored avenues in game design. It's also, as far as I know, the first real example of a VR device that can actually kill the user. It won't be the last device. See you in the Metaverse ".
