The Birth of AR & VR: The Sword of Damocles Myth 
Did you know? The Sword of Damocles was never the name of the first AR display prototype!

The mechanical system that supported the prototype resembled a giant cross — hence, the playful name.
The true innovation? Ivan Sutherland’s “Stereoscopic-Television Apparatus for Individual Use” — a game-changer in AR history and the first recorded use of the term HMD.
