This 1970s tank simulator drives through a tiny world

Using VR goggles that have no capability of viewing anything VR makes them just regular goggles though? This tank simulator from the 1970s is a great example of early VR: [VIDEO] I wonder if there's anything earlier..

Very cool, reminds me a bit of two Tom Scott videos (these ones do use displays though, but combined with little model worlds) * [VIDEO] - 1970s tank simulator drives through a tiny world * [LINK] - Submarine simulator

Reminds of an early tank simulator where the driver in the cockpit saw a video feed from a camera on a gantry they were slowly driving around a diarama. [VIDEO] "Real engine" for just one player at a time though.

The Swiss Military Museum maintains an exhibit with a 1970s tank simulator that guests can try out. It consists of a tank cockpit in a hydraulically mounted chamber that can pitch and roll with the changing terrain. The operator drives a little camera around a large diorama providing a first-person view of simulated terrain; a "foot" on the camera senses the terrain which is then translated into movements of the chamber. Apparently all of the equipment is original except the computer; as computer parts became harder to replace, eventually they just used a Raspberry Pi. [VIDEO]
