An interesting fact is that the first VR headset ever made was the "Sword of Damocles" system developed by Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproul in the University of Utah in 1968. Hopefully, this gives some context to the evolution that VR headsets have experienced prior to the Oculus Quest 2 release.

Oculus was founded by Palmer Luckey, who got into VR technology by joining online communities for porting game consoles to devices and prototyping and collecting VR headsets. His company would later be acquired by Facebook when Lucky was 21.
