      It's certainly still a luxury, even as far as video games go- but it's changing rapidly. And it's certainly now where close to as prohibitive as it was in the 90s from conception.

      I had a similar experience at a theme park. I put the helmet on and the game was Star Wars Dark Forces (A game I already had at home on PC) and it was pretty much exactly as you said not immersive at all and just like the screen was pressed up against my eyes. I took the helmet off after like 1-2 minutes and the attendant was like "whats wrong" and I said it just wasn't very good and surprisingly he said "oh well here let me give you your money back then" and I got a refund. I think it was like $10. The only people I could see being impressed with such a thing would be people who knew nothing about computers or video games at all.

    They had a racer game there too and I remember that one being way worse.

    I'm proud to say I was born in the time this came out. I think though simple in it, it was high tech on the programing and assembly I'm sure to get this done. As different as I am, I enjoy early graphics, for one to see how far we come, but in general how cool it actually looks to start from a basic plane into actually something that is functional. I feel the same way with the Nintnedo Power Glove...though glitches , it's still a cool invention. I love early graphics. Every polygon. It's retro rad cool.

    This was not bad at all for the 90s! I grew up with a NIntendo 8bit, was 12 when I got my NES in 1984. So I have seen and experienced the advancements over the decades. My favorite times ever. Anyway, it’s crazy to see what kind of tech we have today, I have a MetaQuest 3 and the motherFKer makes me sick sometimes 🤣

    These VR machines cost $30,000 each back in the 90's. Now you can get a PSVR headset for $100; and while it's weak in comparison to Oculus...it puts this thing to absolute shame.

    I know I've already experienced things like Playstation VR, Nintendo Labo VR, and Steam VR, but I wish I could experience this more primitive version of the technology. I wonder if there are any places in the world that still have these setups.

    Seeing this made me remember about the Atari Jaguar VR headset, does anyone tried this thing back in the days? It would be neat to see some footage of it, lots of stuff i've found about reading old Edge magazines, one thing that is pretty elusive is the "labyrinth" game/tech demo that was supposedly a game for the first Playstation, never came out and people tried to have infos but never got anything interesting, for me it looks a lot like the first King's Field , maybe a Beta. On the same subject there was a FPS with zombies with 2D sprites looking pretty cool but was cancelled, i'd love to have more footages of it, it's called Dawn of Darkness ua-cam.com/video/6zJ3pODBIBw/v-deo.html.

    I remember my brother and I paying to play Virtual Reality in the early 90s at some theme park. I wish I could remember which one. It looked OK, a lot like what they show on this video, except a bit more blocky and pixelated. Whatever game they had, it was laggy as hell and super confusing, lol. I had no idea what was what or what I was supposed to do. After my brother and I finished, I remember we just looked at each other very unimpressed, lol. We didn't say a word about it. We just left super disappointed 😂. Well, now, 30 years later, I have my Meta Quest 2 and finally got to fulfill my dream of actually playing in virtual reality. I WIN! 🤣🤣🤣
