Correction: Sega
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AN ARTICLE in the Independent on Sunday on 5 September 1993 about research into possible visual problems caused by virtual reality headsets was headed 'Sega games cause eye damage'. In fact, although Sega is developing virtual reality games for both arcade and home use, the company does not yet have any such games on the market. We accept that any suggestion in our heading that Sega is selling a game which has been found to be potentially damaging to eyesight is misleading. We apologise for any embarrassment caused.
As stated in our article, Sega says that its new virtual reality products will be fully tested before being made available to members of the public. The company also claims that the research carried out by Edinburgh University and the Army Personnel Research Establishment, of the Ministry of Defence, used a prototype with very high powered lenses, designed for a different application, and that the technology is so different that a comparison is not valid.
