Leeds University scientists found 20-minute game risked vision and balance problems for players aged eight to 12

The warning comes as major companies including Facebook and Google outline plans to expand heavily in the field, while hardware companies have started promoting devices that turn mobile phones into head-mounted VR viewers.
