The Great Digital Leap
The creation of virtual reality (VR) is a compelling story that embodies dedication, innovation, and imagination. It began in the 1950s when Morton Heilig first envisioned a multi-sensory theater, followed by Ivan Sutherland's invention of the very first head-mounted display in 1968. These early developments laid down essential foundations for VR which combined various fields including science, technology, and art. Through the 1980s and 1990s, VR gained attention from the digital revolution and advancements in computer graphics.
