Sega, flush with funds from the Sega Mega Drive (released as the Sega Genesis in North America), announced the Sega VR add-on in 1991.[citation needed] It was based around an IDEO virtual reality headset (HMD) with LCD screens in the visor and stereo headphones.[citation needed] Inertial sensors in the headset allowed the system to track and react to the movements of the user’s head.
Because of development difficulties the Sega VR remained only a prototype, it was last seen at computer shows in 1993[citation needed] and vanished from the release schedules in 1994. Four games were apparently developed for the system, each using 16 Mb cartridges that were to be bundled with the headset.[citation needed]
The company claimed the project was stopped because the VR was so real users would move while wearing the headset and injure themselves.[citation needed] The limited processing power of the system makes this claim unlikely, although there were reports of testers developing headaches and motion sickness.[citation needed]
Sega went on to other VR projects for use in arcades and a similar add-on was reported but never seen for the Sega Saturn.[citation needed] The project encouraged a brief flurry of other companies to offer VR products.
