Finally, Sony has come out with a new toy, actually something i'd call a gamer relic.Its a virtual reality headset called "Project Morpheus" (catchy).
According to Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony's Worldwide Studios, Sony had been working on the technology for three years. He also said, in a blog post, that "We believe VR will shape the future of games," and he couldn`t be more correct.
He also said, "At GDC 2014 this week, attendees will be able to check out Project Morpheus in action at the SCEA booth through a handful of technology demos."
Its actually still a prototype, made available to only developers, and a commercial release date has not been announced.
The project Morpheus is a head-mounted display with 1080p resolution and a 90 degree field of view.
It has sensors built into the unit that can track head orientation and movement, so that when a user's head moves, the image of the virtual reality world moves with it.
Sony's move into virtual reality was actually induced by a product released by a crowd-sourced group called Oculus Rift.
It unveiled its prototype headset "Crystal Cove" at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas
