Earlier today at the Game Developers Conference, Sony made a number of big announcements regarding the PS4 and Project Morpheus. First off, the latest PS4 sales figures now stand at 20.2 million units sold worldwide, making it the fastest selling console in PlayStation history.
Sony has released the full video of the Project Morpheus reveal last week from GDC in San Francisco. The announcement wasn’t live-streamed like most of Sony’s events, but it was filmed and later uploaded to YouTube for your viewing pleasure. The hour-long video shows the current VR headset prototype and features SCE World Wide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida.
Sony’s VR headset, currently dubbed Project Morpheus, is currently in the prototyping stages but the technical details of the device are impressive. The technical specification of the developer version of the headset has been revealed following the announcement at GDC.
At GDC 2014, Sony announced Project Morpheus, a prototype virtual reality (VR) system that works with PS4, and the next innovation that will change the future of games. The VR device is still a prototype at this point, but the current model of Project Morpheus features a head-mounted display with 1080p resolution and new 3D audio technology that re-creates stereoscopic sounds in all directions and changes in real-time depending on your head orientation.
Sony revealed more details about the PS4 and the accompanying peripherals that come with the console. Sony revealed a number of specific details about the new DualShock 4 controller as well as revealing the specification of the new camera bar. We break down the information for you below. With each new reveal from Sony, we can’t help but get a little bit more excited about the PS4.
As the world’s dev community gathers in San Francisco for the Game Developers Conference (GDC), one of the talking points will be a new version of PlayStation Home that will empower them to create richer, more sophisticated and better connected gameplay experiences than we have seen before.
