Step inside immersive digital worlds — the history from Sensorama to modern headsets, spatial computing, haptic feedback, and VR's transformative applications in medicine, training, and entertainment.
Step inside immersive digital worlds — the history from Sensorama to modern headsets, spatial computing, haptic feedback, and VR's transformative applications in medicine, training, and entertainment.
Morton Heilig's Sensorama, built in 1962, was the first VR machine, providing stereoscopic 3D video, stereo sound, vibrations, wind, and even smells for a multisensory motorcycle ride experience. Palmer Luckey's Oculus Rift Kickstarter in 2012 raised $2.4 million and reignited consumer VR interest, leading to Facebook's $2 billion acquisition of Oculus in 2014. Medical VR applications have shown significant results, with a 2021 study in PLOS ONE finding that VR-based exposure therapy reduced PTSD symptoms by 67%, and surgeons using VR training platforms completed procedures 29% faster with six times fewer errors than conventionally trained peers.
