- 11. Timeline Ivan Sutherland Head MountedDisplay The Sword of Damocles is widely considered to be the first virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) head- mounted display (HMD) system. It was created in 1968 by computer scientist Ivan Sutherland with the help of his student Bob Sproull. Before he began working toward what he termed "the ultimate display", Ivan Sutherland was already well respected for his accomplishments in computer graphics.
- 12. Timeline DataGlove Thomas G. Zimmerman USPatent 4542291 Various sensor technologies are used to capture physical data such as bending of fingers. Often a motion tracker, such as a magnetic tracking device or inertial tracking device, is attached to capture the global position/rotation data of the glove. These movements are then interpreted by the software that accompanies the glove, so any one movement can mean any number of things.
- 13. VPL, Inc. One ofthe first companies that developed and sold virtual reality products. It was founded by VR pioneer Jaron Lanier in 1984. VPL started in the corner of Lanier's cottage in the San Francisco Bay Area. "VPL" stood for "Visual Programming Languages", and Lanier said that the goal of the company was to create a visual programming language to bring programming to a mass audience. Timeline

Editor's Notes
- #2 hold questions until the end
- #5 have you experienced VR?
- #6 This is what we’re trying to avoid
- #7 Virtual reality is the concept of creating a synthetic environment navigable by a user. This usually consists of being able to look around the environment by moving your head. But some systems use additional devices to let you interact in other ways.
