Virtual Interface Environment Workstation (VIEW) is a virtual reality system made in partnership with NASA and VPL. The project was led by Scott Fisher.[1]
VIEW originally stood for Virtual Environment Workstation, and later, Virtual Interface Environment Workstation.
The absolute position sensor for the head tracker in the VIEW system was provided by Polhemus.[2]
It used an HP 9000 computer.[3]
The VIEW was scheduled to be shown by the Boston Computer Society. The event was announced at BCS' 1988 November 30 event by Jonathan Rotenberg, at which time he referred to it using the alternate term "artificial reality". During the announcement, the audience laughed as if the announcement were a joke.[4]
