		It seemed like no matter which VR class, paper or panel I attended, and I attended several of them, the same issues kept coming up: Concerns about the physiological and psychological effects of VR systems on users, the need for more useful interfaces, and the desire to provide more sensuous feedback to users.
		One panelist, Randy Pausch of the University of Virginia, mentioned a Sega VR HMD which was supposed to be released but was never heard of again after Sega commissioned a study of the effects of long term use of HMDs.
		In the report, questions are posed regarding the effects of extended exposure to VR systems on the users sense of presence in their usual environment, on the possibility of altering the mental model held of the user's own body, and on attitudes toward social behaviors such as sex, violence, and fantasy role playing.

		On paper, Sega's Make Your Own Music Video series must have seemed like a no-brainer: give kids the power to edit their own versions of popular artists' music videos.
		So Sega and the series' developers, Digital Pictures, were left with nine music videos, a mess of lame stock footage, and a basic premise for a game.
		Sega, whether it was putting out weirdo music games like these or pitching a Virtual VCR product that would let you watch an entire Prince concert in ugly, grainy compressed video (it never came out, much to the dismay of greedy optometrists everywhere), was doing things that simply hadn't been done before.
