Silicon Valley Comic Con (SVCC),
Steve Wozniak’s pop culture and technology expo, today revealed that
Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus VR, will join Steve Wozniak on stage
for a highly anticipated joint discussion moderated by Kara Swisher,
executive editor of Re/code. The two entrepreneurs who both engineered
their way from a garage workshop to global success will discuss the
early days of their respective careers, roadblocks along the way and
where they see the future of technology going beginning with virtual
reality (VR).
“We couldn’t have a technology
and pop culture event without featuring one of today’s brightest and
most talented young inventors,” said Apple co-founder and SVCC’s master
of ceremony, Steve Wozniak. “We’ve only just touched on the potential of
VR. Palmer is paving the way, and this new technology will change the
way we play games, watch entertainment, educate and more.”
To
close the show, legendary comic book creator Stan Lee will join Woz on
the main stage for a must-see fireside chat. The two icons of pop
