Virtual Boy

The Virtual Boy was a gaming console developed by Nintendo in the 1990s aiming to provide a 3D experience. It used a special display that split images into two for each eye, creating a sense of depth. Designed as a portable device, it featured a head-mounted display with stereo sound, but it was bulky, uncomfortable, and limited in game variety. Despite innovative technology, it was a commercial failure due to its high price, awkward design, and lack of popular games, leading to its discontinuation shortly after launch. Today, it is recognized as a unique, though misunderstood, part of gaming history.
