The '''i-glasses!''' (stylized as '''i-glasses!''') were a series of [[head-mounted displays]] (HMDs) developed and manufactured by [[Virtual i-O]] from 1995 to 1997, and later by i-O Display Systems until 2013. These devices were among the first consumer-oriented [[virtual reality]] headsets to achieve mainstream distribution, offering an affordable entry point into VR and [[augmented reality]] experiences during the mid-1990s.<ref name="vrtifacts">V-Rtifacts. 1995 Virtual IO I-Glasses.
