 | | The Nintendo Virtual Boy, released in 1995, was a video game console that used a twin eyeglass style projector to display the games in "true" 3-D (though monochromatic). |
| | It was a flop in the marketplace, for several reasons: * It was marketed as a portable system, but it was not as portable as consumers thought it should be * The display was known to cause eye problems, especially for those under 7 years of age (it allegedly stunts eye development). |
| | Every Virtual Boy game will pause automatically every 15-30 minutes to remind the player to take a break, to prevent undue eyestrain and possible headaches. |
