Virtual Reality
Going forward, this is going to sound a bit out of whack, but rest assured it seems to be a pattern. Gunpei Yokoi , creator of the gameboy color , gameboy pocket, and crosspad was on the verge of finishing up his virtual reality studies. He created something called the virtual boy , which in essence was the first attempt at three dimensional emulation. Although a bitter failure on the market, the concept was to be worked upon by Yokoi and his team.
A few weeks after the virtualboy hit the market, Yokoi rear-ended a truck (or maybe was backed up into) , he stepped out to asses the damage and get the insurance numbers of the man in front of him. Seconds later, a former Yakuza (Japanese gangsters like the Italian and Irish mobsters in the US) member swept Yokoi with his own truck from behind , killing him instantly. This seems very insignificant but a more recent event sort of makes this sound more or less not accidental.

More recently, and shockingly, oculus rift ( a company that is experimenting with virtual reality) had it's co-founder killed to death by a pack of gangsters following a brutal police chase. And guess how he died? Not only was he killed to death, but he was struck by a car driven by a gangsters while crossing the street -- coincidence huh?

Does someone fear the creation of virtual reality? Are there reasons why both men , prominently in charge of three dimensional development, died in freak accidents involving car hits and gang members? Yes, it sounds a bit far-fetched, but hey, who knows right? Post your comments below or talk more on our forums we really are eager to hear your input on this.
