Sony was at a major game developers gathering Wednesday showing off a prototype of "Morpheus" virtual reality head gear set for release next year. The Japanese consumer electronics titan did not disclose how much it planned to charge for the virtual reality (VR) system synched to work with its popular PlayStation 4 video game consoles. "With the technical specs achieved on the new prototype, we are one step closer to realizing our vision for making amazing VR experiences on PS4, and ultimately to deliver a real sense of presence to players," said Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida. "We believe that the near-final technology of Morpheus, combined with the power of PS4, will provide a standard for game developers to target as they build on their creative ideas and turn them into VR games and experiences." Sony is among several companies developing VR head gear and pitching their technology at a Game Developers Conference in San Francisco this week.
