Oculus VR and Palmer Luckey being sued by CTO’s former employer
Oculus VR and co-founder Palmer Luckey are being sued by Zenimax Media and id Software, the former employer of Oculus VR chief technical officer John Carmack. The suit claims that John Carmack, while employed by id Software (owned by Zenimax Media), stole and misappropriated “trade secrets relating to virtual reality technology.” The suit was filed in Texas (where id Software is located), and follows up on legal claims Zenimax was already making public. For its part, Oculus VR denied Zenimax’s claims in a followup response, which stated, “There is not a line of Zenimax code or any of its technology in any Oculus products.” Oculus CTO John Carmack openly worked with Palmer Luckey in the lead up to the Oculus Rift’s tremendously successful Kickstarter campaign, and Carmack eventually joined the company full-time last year.
