This looks real, because it was a real headset, by the legendary (true father of VR) Jaron Lanier’s VPL :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPL_Research He has an excellent book on out VR right now . . . https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071RBPV1V/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i3

ONE of the fathers of virtual reality.
If you managed to get your GED and can still read, perhaps thumb through one of his books or watch a YouTube video first.
His mentor is Marvin Minsky, arguably THE father of modern AI research.
Jaron has more street cred than you're entire family tree.
You're just a whiny pedant with nothing to contribute to this discussion.
Move along, kid.
