Linus Tech Tips (LTT): Linus Tries VR From 1994

TL;DR

Linus digs up a mid-’90s DOS-era VR headset—think bulky beige goggle-box—and fires up classics like Quake, Rise of the Triad and Descent to see if early VR hype held up. Spoiler: the visuals are rough, but the novelty and surprisingly solid hardware specs still shine through.

He walks through the clunky hardware setup, marvels at how far we’ve come (and how cheesy it looked back then), and gives a verdict on whether 1994’s VR was ahead of its time or just … time-wasting.
