Gaming Joysticks

                  In 1967, Ralph H. Baer created gaming joystick which was used in
                  the SEGA’s arcade game. This was the first gaming joystick with
                  a  fire  button  to  steer  and  shoot  missiles  into  oncoming  planes
                  displayed on a screen.







                                                         Virtual Reality

                                                         Ivan  Sutherland  created  the  first  head-mounted  display
                                                         called  Sword of Damocles  in  1968.  It was  connected  to  a
                                                         computer.  The  idea  behind  its  creation  was  to  change  the
                                                         perspective image as the user moved his head.








                     In 1960, inventor Morton Heilig patented the idea of VR headset. At that time it was
                     known as Telesphere Mask.







                  Multi-Touch Technology

                  It was Control Data Corporation who released single touch
                  point terminal of 16x16 array for the first time in 1972, as
                  its user interface. Plato IV came up with a touch panel for
                  graphic interaction.







                                                    3D Printing

                                                    In 1982, Dr. Hideo Kodama contributed to the advancement of 3D
                                                    printing technology by developing a rapid prototyping technique
                                                    utilising  photopolymerisation.  This  technique  involved  using  UV
                                                    light to polymerise photosensitive resin, enabling the creation of
                                                    3D objects layer by layer.
