Project Morpheus: PlayStation VR

Today I am here to inform all the gamers around an exciting news will be a reality in the coming future. The gaming technology and gaming experience has been revolutionizing each day in drastic advancements which will be a great news for all the gamers around.

PlayStation VR, previously known by the code-name Project Morpheus, is an upcoming virtual reality headset produced by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is designed to be fully functional with the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita game systems. It is currently a prototype and has no confirmed release date, although Sony has scheduled its launch for the first half of 2016.

The prototype revealed at GDC’15 included an OLED 1920×1080 pixel display (providing 960×1080 pixels resolution per eye) with an RGB subpixel matrix, and is capable of displaying content at 120fps. It features a FOV of 100°, 6DOF head-tracking, stereoscopic 3D, and unwarped output to a TV, either for others to view what the headset wearer sees, or a separate display to compete against the headset user using a standard PS4 controller.

Game-play:

PlayStation VR is capable of rendering two separate displays simultaneously: one display for the headset and a completely different display for television. The purpose, Sony say, is to prevent VR from invariably being a solitary experience.

Japan Studio has made a new demo called Monster Escape. So that’s a five-player game; one versus four. One being the person wearing Morpheus. And if you’re in Morpheus, you become the Monster. And the four people holding the DualShock Contorller and looking at the TV and playing the game like a regular game [are] against the monster. … And actually, third-party devs were ahead of us in terms of making the game called Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. … One person is wearing Morpheus and that person looks at the bomb, like a time bomb. And in order to stabilize it, the other person [watching the television] who is not wearing Morpheus, has an instruction manual. And that person has to tell the person wearing Morpheus how to do the job. But that person doesn’t see what the person wearing Morpheus sees. So they have to communicate. … So that gives a social experience.
