Virtual boy

..............................................................................................................

The Virtual Boy (????????, Bacharu Boi?)was the first portable game console capable of displaying "true 3D graphics." Most video games are forced to use perspective to achieve the illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional screen, but the Virtual Boy was able to create a more accurate illusion of depth through an effect known as parallax. In a manner similar to using a Head Mounted Display, the user places his face inside a pair of rubber goggles on the front of the machine, and then an eyeglass-style projector allows viewing of the monochromatic (in this case black and red) image. It was released on July 21, 1995 in Japan and August 14, 1995 in the US and at a price of around $180. It met with a lukewarm reception that was unaffected by continued price drops. Nintendo eventually discontinued it the following year.
