Refresh my memory. When we tried this 20 years ago, what was it called? And please don't say Virtual Boy. 

Forte VFX-1 for example. Not the only headset.

Virtuality arcade machines.

Quite interesting. Forte VFX worked alright with some PC games, was extremely low res though. Never got my hands on that virtuality stuff but back then it was called a great experience. And it's more like 25 years old.

You really think it hasn't improved much??

It was cool at the time, not a lot of support though. Low framerate, limited availability of stereoscopic games, limited headtracking, only 45 degree fov. The frame rate in the flight sims makes me sick just watching it in a you tube window. That was truly ahead of its time, not ready for mass market.
