My Cart - Whatever your console might be, you are sure to be aching with anticipation at the thought of the gaming developments that are coming your way soon. The market is awash with new games that promise new levels of involvement, and it is hard to pick out which release is the most exciting. Sony recently pulled a development out of the bag that may be the first step towards changing the industry altogether, ultimately taking it in a completely different direction. Below, we look to answer the most common questions that people have been asking about this announcement.
What is it?
The recent unveiling of the HD Project Morpheus headset by Sony is an incredibly important development that really cannot be over-estimated. The headset fits over the gamers’ head, and uses head tracking technology to allow you to look and move around the virtual gaming environment. Although there have been similar technologies in the past, this is the first of its kind developed especially for the PS4, and is able to display full HD graphics.
What does it offer?
The level to which you can immerse yourself in the game is usually limited by the unavoidable fact that you are sat in front of a screen. This product changes this, and really takes gaming technology to the next level by allowing you to jump seamlessly into the virtual surroundings. The experience offers a far more natural and intuitive experience, lessening the separation that many feel when playing more traditional consoles.
When can I have one?
Unfortunately, Sony has not said when they plan to release the product or how much they plan to charge for each headset. A fairly good bet would be that the technology will be released within the next 2 years, and that the price will settle at around half of the console price once it has established an audience.
What can I do in the meantime?
Don’t worry, Sony already make some amazing TVs that still offer you an incredible gaming experience.
