With Project Morpheus and PlayStation\u00aeCamera, Games will Immerse Players in Virtual Worlds, Delivering a Sense of Presence in Gaming Never Before Possible\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced the development of \u201cProject Morpheus\u201d (Morpheus) \u2212 a virtual reality (VR) system that takes the PlayStation\u00ae4 (PS4\u2122) system to the next level of immersion and demonstrates the future of gaming.\u00a0 SCE will continue development of Morpheus looking towards a future commercial launch.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt SCE we view innovation as an opportunity to build on our mission to push the boundaries of play,\u201d said Shuhei Yoshida, President of SCE Worldwide Studios. \u00a0\u201cProject Morpheus is the latest example of innovation from SCE, and we\u2019re looking forward to its\u00a0continued development and the games that will be created as development kits get into the hands of content creators.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\u00a0 Morpheus enables developers to create experiences that deliver a sense of presence – where players feel as though they are physically inside the virtual world of a game. \u00a0Presence is like a window into another world that heightens the emotions gamers experience as they play.\u00a0 Morpheus features a visor style head-mounted display and works seamlessly with PlayStation\u00aeCamera to deliver a unique VR experience right before the player\u2019s eyes.\u00a0 Inertial\u00a0<\/span>sensors built into the head mount unit and PlayStation Camera accurately track head orientation and movement so as the player\u2019s head rotates, the image of the virtual world rotates naturally and intuitively in real-time.\u00a0 Furthermore, in supporting games, the player can use a PlayStation\u00aeMove (PS Move) Motion Controller as an object, such as a sword.\u00a0 Morpheus will reproduce the player\u2019s hands and sword within the game so the player feels like they are physically fighting off enemies with their sword in the virtual world.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
\u00a0Morpheus adopts 3D audio technology uniquely developed by SCE.\u00a0 In addition to sounds coming from front, behind, left and right, Morpheus re-creates stereoscopic sounds heard from below and above the players, such as footsteps climbing up stairs below them, or engine noises of helicopters flying overhead.\u00a0 Sounds that players hear change in real-time depending on their head orientation, creating a highly realistic audio environment within an immersive 360-degree virtual world. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAlong with PlayStation Camera, Wireless Controller for PS4, and PS Move, Morpheus will deliver immersive breakthrough entertainment experiences to gamers through the PS4 system, leveraging SCE\u2019s expertise across key areas for VR \u2013 including display\/optics, audio, tracking, control, ease of use, and content.<\/p>\n
Developers will be able to create Morpheus content for PS4, a platform which has sold over 6 million units only after 3 months and a half of its launch, and is continuing to show strong momentum.\u00a0 The Morpheus dedicated SDK is currently under development and will become available when ready.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During the Game Developers Conference 2014 held in San Francisco from March 19 through March 21, attendees can visit the Sony Computer Entertainment America booth to have a hands-on experience with Morpheus, which will be exhibited for reference.\u00a0 Attendees can enjoy exclusive technology demo such as EVE Valkyrie<\/i> (CCP), a multiplayer dogfighting shooter that uses virtual reality to give the player the sense of being a real pilot in an EVE Online spaceship, Thief<\/i> (SQUARE ENIX Co., LTD.), which allows players to explore the dark shadowy world of the stealth action title, \u201cThe Castle\u201d<\/i> (SCE) that shows various VR\u3000interactions utilizing PS Move, <\/i>and \u201cThe Deep\u201d <\/i>(SCE), where players can observe the waters from inside a shark proof cage.<\/p>\n
