	Virtual Boy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Virtual Boy was the fourth home video game console capable of displaying "false 3D graphics." Most video games are forced to use perspective to achieve the illusions of three dimensional on a two-dimensional screen, but the Virtual Boy was able to create a more accurate illusion of depth through an effect known as parallax.
		The Virtual Boy is iconic for its monochromatic use of red LED lights.
		The Virtual Boy's controller was an attempt to implement dual digital 'D-pads' to control elements in the aforementioned 3D environment.

	VIRTUAL BOY
		The Virtual Boy was intended to be Nintendo first step into the bold new world of virtual reality.
		The Virtual Boy is able to display both 2D and 3D images using a RISC 32-bit engine but (and this is a big but) the Virtual Boy only uses the colour red.
		The Virtual Boy controller not only worked well for the 3D games like Red Alarm thanks to its dual d-pad control, the controller was the source of the battery pack and the AC adapter (sold separately) too which may seem strange to some.

		Conceived by Gunpei Yokoi, the Virtual Boy was a headset mounted on legs that used a system of mirrors to produce the illusion of depth in games.
		This allowed developers to use a third dimension to great effect, with characters rushing in and out of the background, and polygon graphics letting you feel like you were travelling into the screen.
		On the bright side, the Virtual Boy has become a highly sought-after collector's item for Nintendo fans.

		The Nintendo Virtual Boy (released on August 14, 1995 in the USA and July 21, 1995 in Japan) is a video game console that used a twin eyeglass style projector to display the games in "true" 3-D (though monochromatic).
		The console was designed by Gunpei Yokoi, inventor of the Game and Watch LCD handhelds and the Nintendo Game Boy, but was not intended to replace the Game Boy in Nintendo's product line.
		Nintendo intended to use the console to take advantage of the then-recent interest in virtual reality brought on by movies like The Lawnmower Man and a number of virtual reality arcade games.
