In 1995, Nintendo brought virtual reality (VR) to the masses with Virtual Boy, which turned out to be its biggest failure of all time. It was a stilt-legged tabletop gaming machine, which offered stereoscopic 3D graphics. The device was not a commercial success and was discontinued in just a year. The 3D aspect didn’t add much to the gaming experience, the red and black display was harsh on the eyes, and the console was bulky and required players to hunch over.
