Our Thoughts: Made by Virtual Research, there were 3 versions. The VR4, V6 and the V8. Needless to say, each one had more and more processing power over its younger model. The VR4 was introduced by Virtual Research Systems in May 1994. It had LCD displays and a front visor to increase ruggedness and reduce the number of moving parts. Twin 1.3” LCDs and a 60° diagonal FOV at full overlap.
