VRFocus- The 2015 Game Developers Conference (GDC) might well be remembered as the true starting point for the virtual reality (VR) race. While Oculus VR brought its Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) to the show, Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) provided an impressive update on its Project Morpheus kit and Valve showcased the HTC Vive. Oculus VR is yet to comment on the latter of these two devices, but the companys John Carmack recently tried Project Morpheus and seemingly came away impressed.

Push Square: "After a year of token statements without much substance, we suppose that it made sense for Sony to return to the scene of its virtual reality reveal with new information about Project Morpheus. Speaking as part of a private press conference at the Game Developers Conference this week, the Japanese giant announced that its ambitious PlayStation 4 headset has been overhauled, and now boasts a better screen, less latency, and even more lights peppered around its exterior."

Virtual reality's teething problems of users experiencing motion sickness and eyestrain could soon be eliminated with new motion sensing technology, according to Valve's managing director Gabe Newell. While the rising interest of Oculus Rift, and mobile-centric variants such as Gear VR, has triggered a craze of investment in virtual reality, some consumers believe the technology is uncomfortable on the eyes. John Carmack, the chief technology officer at Oculus Rift, said during a keynote at the Games Developers Conference on Wednesday that motion sickness was one of his biggest fears with the technology. People like the demo, they take it home, and they start throwing up, he told a gathering of developers. The fear is if a really bad VR product comes out, it could send the industry back to the 90s, he said.
