Does anyone remember the BBC Domesday Project? Back in 1986, secondary schools were given what was then an incredibly advanced and expensive system comprising a special BBC Master microcomputer, a colour monitor, a trackball, a laserdisc player, and two 12" laserdiscs. One of the discs included virtual walks using actual photos of districts all over the UK. Freedom of movement was limited, but there would be several places in your local area that you could explore in a similar way to Street View. I remember being absolutely amazed at seeing familiar places in laserdisc quality on a computer screen - back in 1986!
Remember it, but never saw one in use.
I did manufacture units for Shell that had a Post Box, a Telephone and an electronic map accessible via touchscreen. That was about 1986 or 1987.
I had to take the first prototype to the management team up in Manchester. Loaded it into my car late at night, drove home, parked up, next morning drove up to Manchester from Aylesbury.
In chatting to the guys at the office, they said the computer technology in it cost £75,000.
Glad I did not crash or have it stolen, or even drop it in the car park.
