Sony Announces Virtual Reality Headset For PS4

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday March 18, 2014 @04:11PM from the it's-officially-a-fad dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Sony has announced 'Project Morpheus,' their project to develop a virtual reality headset for use with the PlayStation 4. 'Using a combination of Sony's own hardware, combining personal video viewers with PlayStation Move controllers, PlayStation engineers experimented with multiple prototypes.' They've been working on it for over three years — here's a picture of the current incarnation. The headset will use 3D audio tech that changes as players move their heads. One of their big goals is to make it extremely simple to use. They intend the display to be 1080p with a 90-degree field of view."

A piece of hardware like this on a closed console with an insane level of controls and fees? No ability to run arbitrary code to make third party apps and mods for it? The hardware in the brand new PS4 is a joke compared to a real computer. It's so limited by a massive variety of factors! Put it on the PC or it will flop.
