How Bad is VR from 1994?

Linus digs up a clunky, beige DOS-era VR headset to see if mid-’90s tech could actually deliver on the sci-fi hype. He straps in and fires up classics like Quake, Rise of the Triad, and Descent—expect pixelated low-res graphics, grainy lenses, and a surprisingly heavy mounting system.

Despite the chunky hardware and laughable visuals, there’s a nostalgic charm in watching early VR attempts push boundaries. The video walks through the headset’s specs, demo footage, and Linus’s reactions, proving that even primitive VR had its own kind of magic.
