I discovered this article on Boing Boing just now.. Look at this crazy piece of technology from yesteryear. To think in days gone by that companies actually thought there was a market for this stuff - although at the time I’m sure it was all too easy to get caught up in the hysteria of the coming availability of the computer age. Even looking back that far (I was seven) the idea of computers being involved in everything we do was still so far off, I can imagine the idea of having tomorrow, today, being too much of an offer to pass up - hence the reason for this particular device.
However, when looking at some of the images, the really interesting thing for me is that I remember something similar to this - a sort of superimposed reality game. It was a golf game (and if anybody can help me out on it’s name I would appreciate it) that came along probably some years later, but I still thought then, as I’m sure the people did when this came out, that, “That’ll never catch on.” and at a price tag of a cool $20,000 it’s no wonder it didn’t..
