John Carmack, one of the legendary game designers of the industry, announces that he is now working with the creators of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset as a chief technology officer and that he is also keeping his position at id Software.

A Twitter message from his personal account states, "My time division is now Oculus over Id over Armadillo. Busy busy busy!"
