Baer’s first gaming console model named “Brown Box” lead to the birth of Odyssey console, which went on sale in 1972 starting a new home entertainment revolution. Later on he invented several other video game related devices including the first light gun that allowed us to shoot on-screen targets and many more. Baer received the US National Medal of Technology in 2004 and he was honored among the America’s National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2010.
