Regarding the Oculus Rift, Unreal Engine 4.3 has been upgraded to new Oculus SDK (0.3.3-pre.1 SDK) with all its latest goodies. In addition, a new direct rendering path and time-warping, which significantly reduces latency on the device and the “Couch Knights” tech sample has been included.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
