An excursion into virtual reality

We live in a time when virtual reality has become very popular. But VR technology is much older than we think.

The prototype of full immersion was invented back in 1962. The device with the beautiful name Sensorama was used in the film industry.

Eight years later, the "The Sword of Damocles" appeared in the world, very much resembling an approximate version of a VR headset, but with primitive capabilities.

Later, virtual reality went into the gaming industry. The Sega VR headset was created, which set the mass distribution. Companies began to develop their own technologies, but the virtual trends subsided for a while.

In 2010, VR returned with a new force, capturing the computer world as well. Palmer Luckey and John Carmack created the first prototype of the Oculus Rift. In our days, this invention is progressing with incredible force.

And today, virtual technologies are available to everyone. Something unknown and frightening before, now is working for good. Presently you can be not just an onlooker, but the creator of your own universe.
