Development history of head-mounted virtual reality glasses
The earliest virtual reality equipment can be traced back to 1962. A device called "Sensorama" allows people to sit in a chair, put their heads in, and form a sense of space through three display screens, thus realizing a virtual reality experience. Subsequently, the head-mounted Sutherland display appeared, but due to technical limitations, it was very bulky and needed to design a special support bar on the ceiling, which was dubbed "Sword of Damocles".

In the mid-1980s, virtual reality equipment was mainly used in some government and military institutions, such as the flight simulator of NASA.

In the late 1980s, jaron lanier, the "father of virtual reality", put forward the concept of VR (Virtual Reality), but it didn't succeed.

199 1 year, a device named "Virtual 1000CS" appeared in the consumer market. But because of its bulky shape, single function and expensive price, virtual reality is still a conceptual existence.

In 20 12, the financing of virtual reality head-mounted display on Kickstarter crowdfunding platform failed (the target was $250,000, and the successful financing was $243,000), but the venture capital was $6,543,800+0,600, and the first round of capital accumulation was completed.
