The Internet Lampoons Time's Virtual Reality Cover
Posted in: Uncategorized
The internet couldn’t resist remixing Time’s magazine cover featuring Oculus Rift inventor Palmer Luckey in the midst of a virtual reality experience.
The Aug. 17 cover features Mr. Luckey levitating on what looks like a beach with the cover line, “The Surprising Joy of Virtual Reality and Why It’s About to Change the World.”
Reactions have been mixed, with some praising the image and others mocking it. On the mocking side, a headline from IT industry mag The Register read, “Moronic Time cover sets back virtual reality another 12 months” and one from Refinery29 read, “TIME’s Tone-Deaf Cover Reinforces All The Wrong Silicon Valley Stereotypes.”
