History[edit]

Virtual Research was founded in 1991 in Sunnyvale by Bruce Bassett.[3] The company's first product was the Flight Helmet, a head-mounted display that they introduced at Siggraph 1991. The Flight Helmet was based on the design of NASA's VIVED.[4] At the time, the only other commercial head-mounted displays were from VPL.[3]

Evan Yeaman was business manager in the 1990s, but by the 2000s became president.[5]
