3-5 paragraphs on history of VR

Short factual piece

- Topic: history of virtual reality (VR)
- 3-5 paragraphs
- At least 600 words (plus list of sources)
- At least 8 references to high quality sources (high profile art, culture, academic authorities, magazines eg. Frieze , Wired or similar or to academic journals, not tech sites like techcrunch or general newspapers like The Times)
- Mentions of about 10-12 ‘stages’ of VR tech development in the last couple of hundreds of years, from a cultural not a scientific-engineering perspective and some comments on the evolution of the concept of virtuality


The quality of the sources is important, the style less so - no need to over-edit/polish.

Deadline - 10.00 GMT, Wed, 25 Apr.

Good places to start (these are just to give direction, not an indication of sources)
