VR has been around since the 1980s, but the tech required for legitimate mainstream use hasn't. Oculus brought the dream of VR to the masses with their 2012 Kickstarter campaign, followed by two development headsets before the official release of the Rift in 2016. But what if the Rift had been developed using 80s tech? Squirrel Monkey looks at what 80s VR might have been like with a vintage installation video from the 8-bit age — and all the batteries, PC peripherals, and vector graphics you could dream of.

Tricky Dick and The Man In Black

In 1970, President Richard Milhouse Nixon invited Johnny Cash to perform at the White House. Nixon wanted Cash to play as a publicity attempt to reach Midwest voters in the face of social unrest and the deeply unpopular war in Vietnam. While Cash was as patriotic as you could be, his views on what it meant to love your country were changing — and caused him to take a deep look at himself and what he believed in. Part of Netflix's ReMastered series, "Track 2" looks an important moment in Cash's life on one of the biggest stages in the world.
