EmuVR – iMac G3 with Mac OS X box!

Originally introduced in 1998, Apple’s iMac G3 became an instant design icon with its distinctive translucent shell and playful colors. This EmuVR UGC recreates the Blueberry variant from late 1999, featuring the updated slot-loading optical drive.

This prop includes a functional system within EmuVR, a separate mouse and keyboard, and the clever detail of having the mouse connect directly to the keyboard, just like the real thing.

For users looking to experience Mac OS 8.1 on this model, a setup guide is available on the iMac’s download page.

Polycounts

iMac: 2,809
Apple USB Keyboard: 6,215
Apple Mouse: 4,467 (Note: This is not the original “Hockey Puck” mouse, but an alternate design that feels more practical while retaining Apple’s aesthetic flair.)

Enjoy revisiting this late-90s classic in virtual form!
