, a company specialising in defence and weapons. Anduril has several contracts with the US military and its allies, including the UK Ministry of Defence and the Australian Defence Force.
Luckey mentioned the explosive charges attached to the OQPNVG are usually used in a different project, likely referring to his work on military weapons. It's possible OQPNVG stands for"Oculus Quest Panoramic Night Vision Goggles" or a similar acronym representing the military origin of the tech. He stated he has plans to add anti-tamper mechanisms that make it impossible to remove or destroy the headset. Luckey cited the"long history of real-world sports revolving around similar stakes" as a reason why equating virtual and real lethality in games should be explored.
The OQPNVG has not been tested out . Luckey admitted he hasn't drummed up the courage to put it on thanks to a"huge variety of failures that could occur and kill the user at the wrong time". Luckey added his design is the"first non-fiction example of a VR device that can actually kill the user" to his knowledge, but it may not be the last."This might be a game, but it is not something you play.
To commemorate the Sword Art Online Incident of November 6th 2022, I made the OQPNVG, the first virtual reality device capable of killing the user - if you die in the game, you die in real life.
