The device was primitive and the graphics comprising the virtual environment were simple wireframe cube. Creator of the game, Ivan Sutherland developed a system allowed the user to view 3D-generated computer graphics and to see those graphics as if they were in the same environment as the user. System itself consisted of six subsystems: a clipping divider, matrix multiplier, vector generator, headset, head position sensor, and a general-purpose computer, unit was partially see-through —which would make these the components of the first augmented reality machine as we know them today.
