The first big VR wave was so early it was almost pre-Internet, so I assume most research was done in corporate silos, like Disney. Those silos are black holes from which no information can escape, so everybody has to re-invent everything.
- h2odragon 3y ago1991; I spent a week manning a booth at a construction trade show. We were beside the Autodesk booth, where they had a big show of "VR walk through of the Denver Airport". Several times every day, all week, people would stagger out of the demo and yak into the trash can provided for the purpose... which was just behind us. I think that really showed me the potential of the VR business and the spirit with which it would be pursued.
