Microsoft HoloLens receives a blow as designer Mike Ey killed in hit-and-run crash

Damn, is anyone who is working on something AR/VR related stuff going to die?

First one of the guys at Oculus gets run over like 2 years ago and now this?

That's a real shame, may he be in a better place now, regards to the family

[JoaoPRSousa]

Hasta la Vista.

You think it's a coincidence this happens just after the Vive got shown at GDC? This was clearly a calculated attack from a militant follower of Lord Gaben.

Damn this sucks. Sorry to the family. To the arse that was DUI and anyone who ever considers it, you are the kind of people that deserve to die, not those whose life you take.

RIP.......

You want a better world?  Anyone that kills in a fashion like this is killed too.  Sorry but just because it is an addiction doesn't mean we should be soft on crime.  The world is over populated anyway and allowing people like this to keep on living only adds more risk to society so start giving harsher sentences and kill them.  The same should be done to pedos too.

RIP Mike

This is going to be a huge hit for MS's holo project.  Not sure what will come of it now.

I wonder what kinds of car they were driving. Do car companies design for frontal impacts better than rear impacts?

If so, then I guess that'd explain why he died, and the driver survived, as unfortunate as it is.

This isn't fair, same goes for any hit and run incident.

Hit and run, as a crime should be punished severely
