He began his career in the United States Air Force as a pilot and flight surgeon. His experiences in aviation sparked his interest in human factors and how technology could enhance human-machine interactions. Furness is widely recognized as the grandfather of VR and has received numerous awards for his contributions, including the IEEE Virtual Reality Career Award and the Discover Magazine Award for Technological Innovation. He is also known for co-founding the Human Interface Technology Laboratory (HIT Lab) at the University of Washington in Seattle in 1989.
