    Old School VR – Tomytronics 3D

    Published at 16:26   Category Game, VR Applications, VR Displays  

    Back in 1980, long before Nintendo’s Virtual Boy (1995) and Sega’s VR Console (1994), Tomy released several stereoscopic games, built-in in a spaceship-shaped handheld “console”.

    As you can see, they have the same old LCD screens with only a few determined positions as good ol’ donkey kong, except it’s stereoscopic!
