Virtual reality has beginnings that preceded the time that the concept was coined and formalised. In this detailed history of virtual reality we look at how technology has evolved and how key pioneers have paved the path for virtual reality as we know it today.
Virtual reality dates all the way back to the 1800s. VR technology has only been evolving through the creation of the ViewMaster, Sensorama, and headsets.
It is difficult to state with any certainty who the father of virtual reality is as like any new invention, it draws upon many different sources and influences.
This piece covers the history of virtual reality from 1838 to 1995. Since then VR has evolved from stereoscopic devices to haptic feedback enabled systems.
