This incredible photo was taken not long after the term "virtual reality" was coined in the 1980s, and it shows the beginnings of the incredibly fruitful relationship between the technology and space exploration.

You know that feeling when you remove your VR headset and need a moment to recognize that you're back in the real world? Virtual Reality blurs that boundary between real life and fantasy, and there's no more harrowing representation of that than in Black Mirror's Striking Vipers

In 1984 William Gibson published "Neuromancer". This novel, written on a typewriter I should add, represented cyberspace as a computer generated space where battles and adventures took place. At almost the same time Jaron Lanier coined the term "virtual reality". #VR

Almost exactly a year ago we started installing "Reinventing Reality" at Lawrence Hall of Science. Forty thousands came to see the show, and 10,000 games in VR were played! Dive into the science of VR from home with our virtual learning resources: virtualsciencecenter.org
