In 1995 Nintendo released the Virtual Boy portable video game console to a lukewarm reception that resulted in several price drops and an eventual discontinuation after only a year on the market. The Virtual Boy displayed monochromatic 3D graphics though a pair of LED linear arrays that scanned each eye's field using curved mirrors that oscillated at very high speed.
