\"unnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night Sony caused huge waves at the annual GDC (Game Developers Conference). As expected, they revealed “Project Morpheus,” the long awaited VR system for the PS4. Since the first announcement of the Oculus Rift, fans have wondered if we would ever see this sort of tech on a home console, and now it seems we will be.<\/p>\n

Check out the full press release from PlayStation<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Greetings from GDC 2014! Earlier this evening, I had the pleasure to introduce Project Morpheus, SCE\u2019s prototype virtual reality (VR) system that works with PS4. Virtual reality is the next innovation from SCE that we believe will shape the future of games.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have long dreamed about VR and the possibilities it brings in regards to game development. This new technology will deliver a sense of presence, where you as the player actually feel like you\u2019re inside the game and your emotions feel that much more real.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our current prototype for Project Morpheus features a head mounted display with 1080p resolution and a 90 degree field of view. Accelerometer and gyroscope sensors built into the head mounted unit as well as PlayStation Camera accurately tracks head orientation and movement, so as your head rotates, the image of the virtual world rotates intuitively in real-time. Project Morpheus also features our new 3D audio technology that re-creates stereoscopic sounds in all directions and changes in real-time depending on your head orientation. In addition to PlayStation Camera, Project Morpheus works with DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller and PlayStation Move to deliver an easy-to-use, plug-and-play VR experience.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The prototype for Project Morpheus is the culmination of our work over the last 3+ years as we\u2019ve refined our vision for VR. This prototype will serve as the first development kit for PS4 developers that are as enthusiastic about this new medium as we are.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
