Not  surprisingly, that talk is set to continue at South by Southwest  Interactive this week, where Oculus Rift vice president of product Nate  Mitchell will be moderating a panel discussing virtual reality as the  "holy grail of gaming." The panelists? Oculus VR's Palmer Luckey, as  well as former Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski and <i>Wing Commander</i> creator Chris Roberts. We'd say this is one worth watching, and you'll be able to do just that <i>today</i> at 7PM Eastern (4PM Pacific) courtesy  of the livestream after the break. We're also live at SXSW ourselves,  and will of course bring you any news that may come out of the event if  you happen to miss it.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><b>Update:</b> Please  excuse us, as we were misinformed of the panelists participating (this  piece originally stated that John Carmack and Gabe Newell would both be  involved). We've updated the post above to reflect the actual lineup.</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="392" scrolling="no" src="http://www.ustream.tv/embed/13570211?v=3&wmode=direct" style="border: 0px none transparent;" width="480">    </iframe> <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/" style="background: #ffffff; color: black; display: block; font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; padding: 2px 0px 4px; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline; width: 400px;" target="_blank">Video streaming by Ustream</a></div>
