Project Morpheus formally named PlayStation VR

The Virtual Reality headset from Sony has an official name

Posted on

At TGS 2015 today, Sony has announced that Project Morpheus, the upcoming virtual reality headset for PlayStation 4, will be formally named PlayStation VR.

PS VR is a unique VR system that combines with PS4 and PlayStation Camera to enable players to enjoy a variety of content.

“The name ‘PlayStation VR’ not only directly expresses an entirely new experience from PlayStation that allows players to feel as if they are physically inside the virtual world of a game, but it also reflects our hopes that we want our users to feel a sense of familiarity as they enjoy this amazing experience,” said Masayasu Ito, EVP, Division president of PS Product Business and VP, Software Design Division.

By utilizing 3D audio technology uniquely developed by SCE, sounds that players hear will also change in real-time depending on their head orientation within the 360-degree virtual space. Furthermore, by using PlayStation Move (PS Move) Motion Controller or Wireless Controller (DUALSHOCK 4), players can explore virtual environments, and interact with virtual characters as if they are actually present in the world of a game.

Sony claims that 3rd party software developers and publishers as well as SCE Worldwide Studios have been leveraging these unique features of PS VR to develop a broad range of software titles. Several of these will be showcased at events and other occasions globally starting with Tokyo Game Show 2015.

Earlier this year, Sony said that the VR headset is on track to launch in 2016. No price point has been set so far.

We had a chance to try the headset back at E3 2015, and you can read our impressions here.
