Pygmalion's Spectacles

Pygmalion's Spectacles is a science fiction tale by the American writer Stanley G. Weinbaum (1935). The story starts from subjective idealism or immaterialism. The tale tells us about the invention of Professor Albert Ludwig, which allows the user to experiment with the world through glasses; a world with smell, taste and touch. The story does not develop linearly, independent of the viewer, but around it, interactively and represents the first literary record of what is now known as Virtual Reality.
