PlayStation VR
• PlayStation VR, known by the codename ”Project Morpheus” during
development, is a virtual reality headset developed by Sony
Interactive Entertainment, which launched on October 13, 2016.
PlayStation VR
• Sony's interest in head-mounted technology dates back to the 1990s.
Its first commercial unit, the Glasstron, was released in 1997.
How Does It Works?
• It was designed to be fully functional with the PlayStation 4 home
video game console. In certain games and demos for the VR, the
player wearing the headset acts separately from other players
without the headset.
• The PlayStation VR system can output a picture to both the
PlayStation VR headset and a television simultaneously, with the
television either mirroring the picture displayed on the headset, or
displaying a separate image for competitive or cooperative gameplay.
PlayStation VR works with either the standard DualShock 4 controller
or the PlayStation Move controllers.
How Does It Works?
• The PlayStation VR has a 5.7 inch OLED (Organic Light-Emitting
Diode) panel, with a display resolution of 1080p. The headset also has
a processor box which enables the Social Screen video output to the
television, as well as process the 3D audio effect, and uses a 3.5mm
headphone jack. The headset also has nine positional LEDs on its
surface for the PlayStation Camera to track 360 degree head
movement.
• In March 2016, Sony said there were 230 developers actively working
on content for PSVR, with 50 titles available by the end of the year.
• Existing, non-VR games can be played within PlayStation VR via
"Cinematic Mode", which renders the content on a
simulated projection screen in a 3D space. The mode has three screen
size options, ranging up to 226 inches (18.8 ft) in virtual size.
• PlayStation VR also supports the display of 360-
degree photos and video. Other features, such as Share Play and Live
from PlayStation, are also compatible within the headset.
