Bit Tech reports Sony is trying to resurrect virtual reality:
'Another thing that's coming back which I'm very excited is the notion of virtual reality,' said Sony's Mike Hocking, who discussed Sony's new head-mounted display (HMD) device. 'You can see that we can now get back to where we really wanted to get with virtual reality in the '80s'

'We've now got the power to do it, we've got the screen resolution to do it, we've got the processing power to update fast enough so we can have very immersive experiences on head-mounted displays in gaming in the not too distant future.'

'Being in a virtual world where I can see my virtual hands or a virtual gun with all the things we can do in the gaming world is going to be absolutely amazing,' he said.
