VR Chat is the go-to application for socialising in virtual reality and is used extensively by the VR community for doing just that. Cymatic Bruce‘s post Live Stream meetups in VR Chat have by all accounts been a great opportunity for like minded enthusiasts to share their thoughts on the VR world.

So, it’s entirely appropriate then that at the most recent VR Chat event, Palmer Luckey turned up unannounced and informally held court whilst other participants quizzed him on all manner of subjects ranging from Celebrity calls to the Oculus offices requesting demos to Oculus’ stance on trademarking their technologies.

VRChat is, as it’s name suggests, a virtual chat application that allows users to connect to and inhabit virtual spaces, embodying virtual avatars and speaking with each other using realtime voice comms.

It’s a great example of Oculus’ and Palmer’s willingness to share and enthusiasm for the VR Community that this even happened. Can you imagine many other company’s willing to spend two hours of their valuable time shooting the breeze with a bunch of enthusiasts?

Catch the entire stream in the video above and for a list of highlights from the event, user /u/SvenViking has compiled his highlights for your easy perusal in the /r/oculus subreddit.

Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.

    Just saw the entire video and what a unique way of utilizing vr. Imagine this concept being applied to talk shows where the presenter and audience have a direct line of sight and communication.

    It’s awesome Palmer would take the time just hanging out with vr enthusiasts and just have a very candid, open discussion about oculus and vr in general.
