Morton Heilig's Sensorama (Interview).mov

I visited Mr. Morton Heilig at his home in Los Angeles at the beginning of 80s, and I made an interview with him on his invented "Sensorama" by my own video camera. It was one of the pioneering idea before the virtual reality movement appeared. So I decided to show this old and short document tape to the public now, because I think many young people do not know about his Sensorama. 2011.1.6. by Itsuo Sakane, Tokyo

Hi Itsuo,

Thanks for this great video which will be great for my VR classes un university!

Just one note. Mr Heilig invented this at the end of the 50's not the 70's. This is why he says (during your interview in the 80's) that the apparatus is 30 years old!

Cheers,

N.

I knew mort for a few years near the end and rode his super cruisers and dirt boards on what became a new sport of offroad skateboarding or mt boarding. He was amazing in his vision,
