Origin of the term |

Line 58:
"Nintendo in fact has been studying virtual reality every since the Virtual Boy failed back in the mid 1990's. Rumors a buzz in the industry came when the reported Nintendo On video was released. Many gamers thought it was going to be the next Nintendo system. Unfortunately it was determined to be fake and made by a fan. However lately the SeriousGamer007 Blog has been creating a lot of buzz with talk of Stereoscopic 3D Visor. In fact reportedly the Blog may actually be a hyping tool to create buzz about Nintendo's next console led by Nintendo's marketing team. SeriousGamer007 even claims to have played the latest game system and hints to either true Virtual Reality or full immersion through Stereoscopic 3D glasses."
== Origin of the term ==
Origins are given for the terms "artificial reality" and "cyberspace", but not "virtual reality" itself. I believe that the first use of the term is often attributed to Damien Broderick's science fiction novel The Judas Mandala (this is indeed claimed in the entry on Broderick), where it is used in a slightly different sense, but there may be other candidates. Someone might want to check this out and add a sentence early in the article.
