Random trivia; VR is so 90s ๐Ÿคช - this is a photo of an offer for a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFX1_Headgear for ~500USD in 1997. Apparently it was compatible with games like Mech Warrior 2 and did already feature stuff like head tracking for compatible games.

This is the kind of magazine page that 90s-kid-me would stare at for hours fantasizing over. Even looking at it now, it's surprisingly easy for me to ignore the objective technical limitations and get hyped.

Side note: can we talk about that 1ST PC GUN on the mid-left there? Dude...

I'm not even sure why this was in one of my drawers at all. Stumbled over it randomly today and was confused by this initially because somehow "VR" is marked with "brand new shit" in my head. I should know better but kinda forgot all about it.
