After a decade of rapid growth and development, the early 1990s saw computer graphics reach a stage in which large numbers of 3D polygons could be rendered on a screen in real-time. As these 3D "virtual worlds" expanded, so did the desire to create technology which could experience engaging with them first hand; so-called "virtual reality". While the term can be dated back to 1958, prior attempts at inserting the user into a virtual world were purely mechanical and far more primitive.

Sega VR
Manufacturer: Sega

Sega VR is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive virtual reality peripheral developed by Sega. Announced in 1991, it languished in development for years, and was quietly cancelled around late 1994.[1]

The hardware is unrelated to the similarly-named VR-1.

Hardware

Sega VR is a Sega Mega Drive peripheral based on an IDEO virtual reality headset with LCD screens in the visor. Inertial sensors allowed the headset to track and react to head movements - one of the first headsets to do so. Unlike other headsets of the time, the Sega VR was designed to be lightweight, and not hurt after prolonged wear.

The inertial sensors monitors head movements at a rate of 100 Hz (100 times per second). This ensures that visuals update rapidly and in sync with the player's head movements. It also uses stereoscopic 3D technology to add three-dimensional depth to the visuals, and built-in stereo headphones to further enhance the virtual-reality experience.

History

Sega VR was featured in the 1995 movie Clockers (with a fictional game called "Gangsta"), and can be seen in a 1992 American Alpha-Bits cereal commercial.

Development

Beginnings

After a decade of rapid growth and development, the early 1990s saw computer graphics reach a stage in which large numbers of 3D polygons could be displayed in real-time. As these virtual worlds expanded, so did the desire to engage with them firsthand. Virtual reality was seen as the next step forward following the move to 3D graphics and gameplay, but numerous factors slowed the process. Chief among these was the prohibitively-high cost of the hardware required to render a believable virtual scene, and the difficulties involved with developing the controllers and interfaces for interacting with the virtual world. As research and development costs rose, the virtual reality bubble burst, and the companies which invested were forced to cut their losses. Virtual reality in the home would be considered unfeasible for nearly two decades before another meaningful push in this area was made.

Legacy

At around the same time, Sega of Japan collaborated with United Kingdom-based Virtuality on the critically acclaimed Mega Visor Display, used in the advanced VR-1 attraction at Sega's indoor theme park venues during the mid 1990s.[12]

A similar virtual reality perhipheral for the Sega Saturn was reported on and mentioned, but never seen physically.
