Sony To Launch Virtual-Reality Headset Next Year
Sony hopes to upgrade gaming experience
The VR headset was unveiled as a prototype at last year’s game developer gathering. It was designed to work with the Sony PlayStation 4 and camera game system. It works by covering the user’s vision and simulating virtual worlds onscreen. The updated version looks similar to the original, but the new version was designed to redistribute weight to the back of the head. It also features a special screen that slides back and forth to accommodate prescription eyeglasses.
The official price of the Project Morpheus headset not yet known. The prototype comes with a large OLED screen with a nearly 100-degree field. It comes with the capability of rendering imagery up to 120 frames per second. There are also nine LED lights on the exterior of the device. Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios executive Shuhei Yoshida says the company’s goal is to make the game player feel as if he or she stepped into the game. It improves user experience and tracks accuracy.
