Vapourware Virtual Reality Groping of a woman leads to Virtual Forcefields

A safe space from cyber pervs: Game creators invent a protective ‘force field’ after player is groped in virtual reality

• A female gamer reported being harassed while playing VR game QuiVR
• Game's makers have since spoken out to counter harassment
• They plan to introduce a 'personal bubble' to restore personal space
• It would enable users to make other virtual players who get to close to disappear and mute their voice, removing them from a player's space

Earlier this week, reports emerged of a female gamer being ‘groped’ while immersed in virtual reality, hinting at a worrying new phenomenon of ‘virtual sexual assault’ for the burgeoning VR industry.

Now the makers of the game, called QuiVR, are planning a virtual force field to battle would-be perverts from invading a gamer’s personal space.

They aim to create a safe space for gamers by making a personal bubble which blocks ‘bad apple’ players and their wandering virtual hands.

The move follows in the wake of claims from one female gamer that she was harassed while playing the monster-blasting virtual reality game.

In QuiVR, players immerse themselves in the world via an HTC Vive headset and hand controllers to wander around a virtual world, shooting monsters with arrows and communicating with other players through their headsets.

Jordan Belamire said that while playing the multiplayer version of the game at her home in California, another player with the username BigBro442 identified her as female before following her around the game, blocking off her view, and making repeated inappropriate groping motions at her ‘chest’ and ‘crotch’.

Writing on Upload, QuiVR’s makers Aaron Stanton and Jonathan Schenker said: ‘The first thing [we] felt was that we had let someone down.

'We should have prevented this in the first place.’

Meh, I've been assaulted like a million times growing up:




In all seriousness...how do you even know you are being "groped"?

In all seriousness...how do you even know you are being "groped"?

A woman knows she's been virtually groped if she feels she's being virtually groped while playing a VR game or if later after she's stopped playing she feels as though she had been groped.
