CNET: The video game industry is embracing virtual reality like never before. Major game makers from Sony to Microsoft and Ubisoft are preparing new products based on the emerging technology even as tech giants including Facebook, Google, Samsung and HTC have plunged into the virtual waters. Now the industry’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3 — the highest-profile video game conference of the year — will launch the technology into people’s living rooms. As many as 27 exhibitors will showcase virtual-reality products, up from six last year. “It’s this huge new medium that people have only started to imagine where you could go with it.”
