Sega VR was never released due to many of the same issues that made Nintendo's Virtual Boy a failure. Among these were how expensive the unit was, its poor graphical capabilities and most notably its eyestrain / headache inducing effects after a short period of play time [1]. However, as with all things SEGA at least we got a cheesy keynote presentation out of it [2].

To be blunt, it made people sick. I was there, I saw the queazy faces at the end of the demo. I was "hardware boy" in the producer ranks and when that came up, I passed. I'm not sure they would have given it to me, but I made it clear I would not want to work on it.
