The VIEW is a VR system made in partnership with NASA and VPL. VIEW stands for Virtual Environment Workstation, or later, Virtual Interface Environment Workstation. The project was led by Scott Fisher.[1]
The VIEW was scheduled to be demonstrated by the Boston Computer Society on December 21, 1988 at 7:30 PM. The event was announced at BCS' October 1988 conference, to which the audience laughed at the idea of virtual reality.[2]
