Not too long after we got a peek at HTC’s Vive VR headset made in collaboration with Valve, Sony pops out a new version of their PlayStation 4 powered virtual reality headset Project Morpheus.
Probably looking more at home in a sci-fi film, it’s been given quite a few improvements on top of it’s futuristic good looks. The newer, bigger 5.7 inch OLED screen has an improved resolution to a good 1920 x 1080 resolution with double the frame rate of the last unit at 120Hz. The field of view has been increased to about 100 degrees and tweaked to run at a lower latency of under 18 miliseconds. They’ve also included nine LED sensors on the outside which makes it easier for movements to be captured by the PlayStation 4 camera but also adds a lot to the cool factor.
Sony says that we will see a retail launch in the “first half of 2016” but haven’t dropped any new info about a proper name for the product or pricing for that matter.
