Oculus co-founder claims to have created VR headset that can kill people The co-created of the Oculus virtual reality device claims to have created a headset that can kill you. Palmer Luckey says the NerveGear device has been designed so that if someone dies within the game, they would die in real life as well. The 30-year-old, who sold his VR company Oculus to Facebook for $ 2 billion in 2014, said the concept has always fascinated him. “Pumped-up graphics might make a game look more real, but only the threat of serious consequences can make a game feel real to you and every other person in the game,” said Palmer Luckey. Mr. Luckey said the headset comes equipped with three explosive charge modules positioned above the visor. They can be programmed to trigger upon death inside a VR experience, “instantly destroying the brain of the user”. NerveGear is a personal project, and Mr. Luckey admitted there were some “failures that could occur and kill the user at the wrong time” The Independent Moment shark tries to steal diver’s catch of fish This remarkable underwater footage shows the moment when a shark hurtles towards a diver and starts munching away at his catch of fish.The clip was filmed in the waters off Porto de Santo Antonio Noronha in the paradisiacal Fernando de Noronha archipelago.The archipelago lies 220 miles from Brazil – to which it belongs – in the Atlantic Ocean, and the footage was filmed at a depth of seven metres (23 feet).The video – filmed on May 4 – shows artisanal fisherman Felipe Rogerio ‘battling’ with a shark over his catch of fish below the water’s surface.Rafael Mesquita Ferreira, said: ‘The sharpnose shark appeared, attracted by the smell, and attacked the line of fish three times, taking two coneys and trying to bite a squirrelfish, but it has a lot of thorns, so it wasn’t able to.’The fishermen involved are authorised for this type of fishing in Noronha and it is forbidden to try to prevent the shark from approaching the fish.’The person who appears in the video is Felipe Rogerio, resident and tour guide of Fernando de Noronha. He was fishing with another resident and friend, ‘Nego’. Both are authorised to fish in the archipelago.’The sharpnose shark appeared during fishing and I was following, capturing the images.’The shark appeared and took two fish from the line and we didn’t do anything because they are protected animals on the island and we cannot interfere with their behaviour.’I took advantage of the situation to record the shark’s actions!’Besides this one, there were other sharks of the nurse shark species.’Nego, whose real name is Erivaldo Alves da Silva, told local media of the event: ‘I thought it was funny, it was a medium-sized shark.’It tried to swallow a bigger fish and couldn’t, it didn’t fit in his mouth. My friend and I laughed a lot, it was very funny.’ The Independent Facebook owner Meta to lay off thousands of employees Facebook owner Meta is preparing to lay off thousands of employees as a result of global economic problems. The Independent At one point during the visit, she knelt down to chat with a three-year-old boy named Akeem, who asked the princess her name.
