Another Valve guy goes to Oculus VR

Who is next?

Oculus VR has announced that it has hired yet another guy from Valve, Aaron Nicholls, which was most likely working closely with the current Chief Scientist Michael Abrash, which switched sides earlier last week.


According to LinkedIn profile, Nicholls switched to Oculus VR after four years of work at Valve and it appears that recent acquisition of Oculus VR by Facebook gave the guys enough money to snatch almost anyone they want. Aaron Nicholls was working on "researching and implementing virtual reality technology" at Valve and before that he was at Microsoft, working on projects like Gears of War and Halo 3.

“It's been exciting working on VR at Valve,” Nicholls said. “Can't wait to continue working on the future with Atman, Michael, and the Oculus crew tomorrow.”

At this rate, Valve could easily scrap its virtual reality project as Oculus VR has been snatching any and every guy that had anything to do with virtual reality so it makes us wonder who is next on their list.
