Wearable technology
The creation of the first virtual reality headset can be credited to Cinematographer Morton Heilig. He created a device known as the Sensorama in 1962. The Sensorama was a videogame like device that was so heavy that it needed to be held up by a suspension device.
Ron Headrest
During the 1980s, Garry Trudeau thought it would be fun to do a political parody of the television program "Max Headroom" (of which he was a fan). He combined the concept with then-president Ronald Reagan, to produce Ron Headrest, the world's first electronically simulated politician. (The name "Headrest" was a humorous allusion to the frequent and lengthy naps that Reagan was notorious for.)
