1969 – Artificial Reality

Myron Kruegere was a virtual reality computer artist who is credited with coming up with the term Artificial Reality to describe several of his interactive, computer-powered art installations: GLOWFLOW, METAPLAY, PSYCHIC SPACE, and VIDEOPLACE. If you visited a hands-on science museum from the 1970s through the 1990s, you no doubt experienced variations of his video/computer interactions. Several web and phone camera apps have similar features built-in now.
