The document discusses the development of augmented and virtual reality technologies. It begins by asserting that technology should serve human needs rather than machines. It then provides a brief history of immersive technologies, including early concepts from the 1960s and visions from science fiction in the 1980s and 1990s. The bulk of the document consists of short stories that envision how emerging immersive technologies could impact human behavior and interactions. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering human factors as immersive technologies continue to advance.

Gernsback described his “teleyeglasses” for a Life magazine article published in July 1963, when he was 78. EARLY 3D ENVIRONMENT: Sensorama (1962) The Sensorama was a machine that is one of the earliest known examples of immersive, multi-sensory technology. Morton Heilig invented and dubbed it "Experience Theater”. Prototyped in 1962, the Sensorama was a mechanical device, which still functions today. TELEYEGLASSES SENSORAMA Dreaming of VR since 1950…
