Project Morpheus - Tech specs and 9 things gamers should know about Playstation 4's new virtual reality headset! [video]

Sony recently announced their newest peripheral for their newest video game console the Playstation 4 and it is a virtual reality (VR) headset. The headset is currently going under the name "Project Morpheus" although that will certainly change when it hits the market.

Project Morpheus will work in tandem with the Playstation 4's camera, new controller, and the Move motion sensors to give users the most realistic experience that they could achieve on the console.

Here are the specs for "Project Morpheus" thanks to TechCrunch:

• 1080p display
• 1000Hz motion detection
• Only one headset at a time is supported
• Headset is currently connected to the PS4 by a 5-meter wire
• Positional/rotational head tracking
• Tracking is handled by the same camera that tracks PS4 Move controllers
• It works for people with glasses
• Content pushed to the Morpheus can be mirrored to a TV, but it sounds like it can handle asymmetric gameplay (different things on each screen) as well.
• An “Open air” design prevents the lenses from fogging up. (It’ll be interesting to see how they prevent light leaking in)"
