VRFocus - This week brings the reveal of another new virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) looking to hit the market before the likes of the Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus launch. Visus from VisusVR is another HMD that uses modern smartphones as a display, although doesn't use the given phone for the actual VR experiences.
