not gonna lie, thinking about buying this, could this possibly work on a modern system?
Just a small clarification: Virtual Reality and stereoscopic images (visioning) are not the same things 😉
I used the a similar device in the early '90s, a few years before the VR Surfer. The was the StereoGraphics "CrystalEyes", and instead of interlaced graphics, it used a sync-doubler (I remember hacking together a DB13W3 dongle for it).
I have a friend who was stationed in Berlin in the 1950's and drove us military trucks. They had a VR system for driving them without being able to see back then 😉
Speaking of VR 'back in the day',…anyone out there remember a short-lived '80s sci-fi TV series called "VR 5"? Lori Singer played the lead role, a hacker who was given access to a VR system and gained the ability to tap into people's minds over the phone line. David McCallum played her computer-expert father, mostly in flashback scenes. In the final episode, he turned up alive, after being presumed dead, in a cliffhanger ending,…and those rotten bean-counting studio execs cancelled the series. Aaaaaaargh.
The Sony Vaio back in 2000 was the sexist computer in the shop, but they were so expensive. Windows Me was slow and barely fit for purpose even on the best hardware. The date of 1997 on first boot would be coming from the bios and not from windows by the way. I’m not a big fan of windows at all, but I have to say that xp was a massive improvement on Me/98/95.
Correction…Young Harvill, a software engineer for Jaron's company VPL Research, came up with the exact term "Virtual Reality". The way the story goes, Jaron came up with Virtual, and Young came up with pairing it with Reality.
i didn't exist in 1995/1996 ,
but sure i had email XD 🙂
I think you can run it on any CRT screen computer with windows 7 using IZ3d software
