Sony yesterday revealed a new version of their PS4 virtual reality headset, code-named Project Morpheus, and though it isn’t final neither is it ready to go out onto the market, Sony has boasted how much better this one is than the one they showed off last year. Sony said at the GDC presentation in San Francisco, that Morpheus will ship out in the first half of 2016. There is however no word on how much it will cost.
The latest version of the virtual reality kit has an OLED display with 1920×1080 resolution. It will also offer frame rate options of 60fps and 120fps. The screen is 5.7 inches, with 360-degree tracking.
You can also wear glasses with this version of Morpheus, which is designed in such a way that a single band goes around your head. You have the option of sliding the headset away without necessarily taking it off.
At their GDC presentation Sony also featured a few new demos for the VR headset, like London Heist, which looks something like a first-person shooter.
Magic controller lets you see your controller as you play around with VR.
Sony said there are more details to follow this coming E3 “and beyond.”
