VIRTUAL REALITY: N-Vision.
Datavisor 10X Head Mounted Display & Video Control Unit, McLean, Virginia, c.1992, HMD in mixed materials, control unit in aluminum chassis, with connection cables from HMD.
N-Vision has focused on military, medical and other scientific applications for their virtual reality technology. Their products have been used by NASA (who have used a number of Datavisor models in the Johnson Space Center Virtual Reality Lab), Boeing, Lockheed and all branches of the armed services. The Datavisor 10X uses 2 CRTs to project images to the HMD wearer at what was a relatively high resolution for the time. The cost was somewhere in the mid 5 figures, so certainly not obtainable for the average consumer.
