Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) has launched its Project Morpheus virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) for Play Station 4 at the IFA technology show in Berlin. This newest innovation from a Japanese tech firm is definitely one-of-a-kind and groundbreaking.
Project Morpheus is definitely a cutting-edge hardware from Sony. It can render images at 120fps and features a 5.7-inch 1920 by RGB by 1080 resolution OLED display. Moreover, it has an adjustable, memory-foam padded clasp which players can fit perfectly to their heads. There is no much details imparted by the Sony executives about this creation yet, but Project Morpheus is set to be released in the first half of 2016.
Part of Sony's chief executive officer, Kazuo Hirai, speech during the pre-show press conference in Berlin was about the Project Morpheus. According to DualShockers, Hirai stated that Sony's newest innovation is a virtual reality system designed for the Play Station 4. It is a remarkable discovery that pushes the boundaries of play and changes the future of gaming.
Additionally, Project Morpheus achieves a sense of presence that takes the player beyond conventional gameplay and to worlds of unprecedented depth and perception. It also offers a social dimension, that allows players to share and connect experiences with others.
This latest Sony discovery is also being compared to HTC's Oculus Rift. Oculus Rift is a Facebook-backed hardware that has 2160 by 1200 resolution. It delivers a 110-degree viewing angle compared to Morpheus' 100 degrees, which only means that it has a bigger field of version and adds a second to display to the mix.
No matter what the reaction of the consumers to Project Morpheus, it is still worth noting that Sony has given its best in producing an innovative virtual reality headset. This could actually change the future of gaming as it lets each gamer enjoy a whole new level of virtual reality experience.
