Japan Display is among the leaders in LCD screen production for small and medium devices. The company was created in 2012 by combining the display departments of Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba, so it's only natural for it to achieve some pretty good results. Earlier this week, Japan Display announced it's working on a display, specifically-designed for better VR experience. The display measures at 3.42 inches and has pixel density of 651 ppi. Japan Display has looked into increasing the pixel density, in order to avoid visible lines between the individual pixels. Judging by the images provided by the manufacturer, it's done a pretty good job, but there's still some room for improvement. Better pixel density results in less visible pixels.

When Fruit Ninja launched back in 2010, it turned into an instant casual gaming sensation. Since then, it's been made available on pretty much every platform you can think of – it's on Symbian and Bada for Pete's sake – and has spawned innumerable clones. Now, with 1  billion  downloads under its belt (as of last year) and a live-action movie in the works, it's time for the fruit-slashing phenomenon to make its foray into virtual reality with Fruit Ninja VR. It was the simple joy of slashing fruit on the touchscreen – tor more likely how fluid it was – that hooked so many people on Fruit Ninja. VR changes this. It's not only making the game more complicated, but also more... weird. Fruit Ninja VR looks like one of those weird dreams. You are standing in the middle of an old-fashioned Japanese square, your feet glued to the floor, while all kinds of fruit restlessly erupt from the ground around you.
