Gaming Joysticks

            In 1967, Ralph Bauer Eckert 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 and it required 16 MB RAM.







                                               3D Printing

                                               In  1982, Dr  Kodama  came  up  with  a  3D  printing which  used
                                               rapid prototyping technique. He used photosensitive resin which
                                               polymerised using UV light.
