In 1968, the first VR-AR helmet was created, which was connected to a computer. It was a heavy device attached to the ceiling and was called “The Sword of Damocles”.

The stereoscope, a device showing 2D objects as 3D ones, was invented in 1838. It allowed people to feel the illusion of depth between two flat pictures.
