In Memory of Andrew Reisse - [Comm-Links](https://api.star-citizen.wiki/comm-links) - In Memory of Andrew Reisse In Memory of Andrew Reisse ========================== Undefined Undefined None [Previous](https://api.star-citizen.wiki/comm-links/13015) [Next](https://api.star-citizen.wiki/comm-links/13017) Content ------- English Many of you have heard the news this weekend about the death of Oculus Rift co-inventor Andrew Reisse. The team at Cloud Imperium was devastated to learn of this tragedy and our thoughts go out to Andrew’s friends, family and the team at Oculus. We hope it is some small condolence that he has helped to create something amazing; the Rift is an amazing piece of game-changing technology that will heavily impact the future of gaming. Here at Cloud Imperium Games, the moment we saw the Oculus Rift, there was no question that we had to support it. Here was technology that would allow the player to inhabit the game world like nothing before. Even better, it was another crowdfunding success story: like space sims, big publishers had decided VR was unprofitable… and here were gamers proving them wrong. We are extremely gratified by the support Oculus has provided our project since our launch. Like us, Andrew and his team dreamed of letting gamers experience their worlds like never before. Now the device he made possible is going to let gamers explore distant star systems with a level of realism no one ever believed possible. We hope that’s a fitting tribute. The team at Oculus has posted a wonderful memorial to their co-worker, which you can find here. Viele von euch haben an diesem Wochenende die Nachricht vom Tod des Miterfinders von Oculus Rift, Andrew Reisse, gehört. Das Team von Cloud Imperium war am Boden zerstört, um von dieser Tragödie zu erfahren, und unsere Gedanken gehen an Andrews Freunde, Familie und das Team von Oculus. Wir hoffen, dass es ein kleines Beileid ist, dass er geholfen hat, etwas Erstaunliches zu schaffen; der Riss ist ein erstaunliches Stück spielverändernder Technologie, das die Zukunft des Spiels stark beeinflussen wird. Hier bei Cloud Imperium Games, als wir den Oculus Riss sahen, stand außer Frage, dass wir ihn unterstützen mussten. Hier war eine Technologie, die es dem Spieler ermöglichen würde, die Spielwelt wie nie zuvor zu bewohnen. Noch besser, es war eine weitere Erfolgsgeschichte: Wie bei Space Sims hatten große Publisher entschieden, dass VR unrentabel ist.... und hier haben die Spieler ihnen das Gegenteil bewiesen. Wir sind sehr erfreut über die Unterstützung, die Oculus unserem Projekt seit unserem Start gewährt hat. Wie wir träumten Andrew und sein Team davon, die Spieler ihre Welten wie nie zuvor erleben zu lassen. Jetzt wird das Gerät, das er ermöglicht hat, es Spielern ermöglichen, entfernte Sternensysteme mit einem Realitätsgrad zu erkunden, den niemand je für möglich gehalten hat. Wir hoffen, dass das ein angemessener Tribut ist. Das Team von Oculus hat ein wunderschönes Denkmal für ihren Mitarbeiter aufgestellt, das Sie hier finden.
