You forgot the 3D glasses for the Sega Master System, which for their time (mid 80's) were mind blowing and lead to me being completely underwhelmed a couple years ago when my friend showed me his crazy expensive 3D tv with the basically the same technology in the active glasses.

Oops just read the title, guess they fell outside of the scope of this article. Nevertheless they're great.
Great article by the way!
Thanks! It may well prove to be worth several pennies even
I left a lot of stuff out as otherwise it would be novel length, but looking at a conventional CRT television through shutterglasses is not virtual reality. I, too, wasn't very impressed when I played one of the Uncharted games on a friend's PS3 using a 3D television. There's a reason 3DTV didn't take off and VR did. You really need a dedicated display for each eyeball in order to do 3D well.
True enough on the shutterglasses not -really- being virtual reality.
