Virtual reality was first introduced in 1957 by cinematographer Morton Heilig in the form of an arcade style booth called Sensorama.
In the 1960s, technology began to expand into the classrooms through devices such as screens and telewriters.
Over time, hypermedia extensions brought multimedia to the World Wide Web. == Terminology == The term multimedia was coined by singer and artist Bob Goldstein (later 'Bobb Goldsteinn') to promote the July 1966 opening of his "LightWorks at L'Oursin" show at Southampton, Long Island.
The first virtual reality headset was created by American computer scientist Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproull, his student, in 1968.
In the late 1970s, the term referred to presentations consisting of multi-projector slide shows timed to an audio track.
However, by the 1990s 'multimedia' took on its current meaning. In the 1993 first edition of Multimedia: Making It Work, Tay Vaughan declared "Multimedia is any combination of text, graphic art, sound, animation, and video that is delivered by computer.
When you provide a structure of linked elements through which the user can navigate, interactive multimedia becomes hypermedia." The German language society Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache recognized the word's significance and ubiquitousness in the 1990s by awarding it the title of German 'Word of the Year' in 1995.
