Sony has unveiled the new prototype of Project Morpheus, their take on the wearable VR headset, at GDC.
“Over the past year SCE has been listening to feedback from both developers and consumers, and has made several enhancements that will further the capability of Morpheus to deliver a sense of presence and push the boundaries of play,” Sony said of the device in a press release.
The new version of the headset upgrades to a 5.7 inch OLED display from its previous 5 inch one. It can also output 120 frames per second, and boasts improved tracking alongside reduced latency.
“With the technical specs achieved on the new prototype, we are one step closer to realizing our vision for making amazing VR experiences on PS4, and ultimately to deliver a real sense of presence to players,” said Shuhei Yoshida, President of SCE Worldwide Studios. “We believe that the near-final technology of Morpheus combined with the power of PS4 will provide a standard for game developers to target as they build on their creative ideas and turn them into VR games and experiences.”
Sony plans to release the headset in 2016.
