In the late 80s and early 90s it was called Virtual Reality, or VR. Some amazing leaps were made at the time but ultimately the technology wasn’t ready to make it into peoples’ homes. It slowly fizzled out as another technology exploded in its place, you may have heard of it… a little thing called the Internet.
Two decades later VR is back with a vengeance, bringing with it a host of related technologies; bootstrapping itself to all the wonderful developments we have enjoyed in terms of personal computing power, smartphone and tablet technology, 3D gaming, bandwidth, cloud storage and global interconnectivity.
