When your girlfriend walks in and sees you with a giant gaming helmet on, the panties drop to the floor.

Would buy something like that! Isn't Microsoft working on VR too? Project forteleza or something?

isnt that more like that google glass thing?

VR is the future, guys.

I really wanna try Oculus Rift. Its supposed to be brilliant. I just think the tech as it is right now is too expensive for the mass market, and thus wont be deemed a success.

Give it 10 Years.

Evolution said they are making test with this device and for that they need 60fps.

The leaked papers indeed stated it involved glasses that project the game world or something like that. Should be cheaper than a full VR display

I had a HMZ-T1 it was a nice piece of kit, REALLY immersive as it was nearly pitch black in the headset with what looked like to me to be a 60 inch screen just a few feet from me. Unfortunately it was a bit too heavy on my head for me personally so I sold it on. I've always been meaning to give the T2 a go as it's suppose to be about 33% lighter, and may be perfect for me. Worked very will with 3d vision too. As it was 2 seperate screens there was no ghosting and the response time was fairly decent.

it was obvious sony are working on something like this. its the next big step in gaming if you ask me, imagine playing this with the last of us, with that atmosphere this would have been insane. i really hope this is true


And it's obvious Sony is making this after someone was the pioneer, like always xD


umm no........you might want to research fatcs and see how long sony and others have had this tech working and been in development.


They've been working on this tech for years and yet with all their millions they still haven't been able to get it right. It took some kid tinkering in his parents garage to finally get people excited for VR.

Sony already released a HMD and it was mediocre just like most HMDs. Why would this be any different?

How is that relevant? Tech improves over time, amazing I know. Also Sony knows this tech is still experimental and not ready for mass production...It is future tech in its early stages. We should be glad companes keep trying to push things forward.

Imagine if every tech company said this......If it was nopt that good before why keep trying to improve it? WOW.

Point is, you can't really call them the pioneers. People try to say the same thing about eyetoy vs Wii. Yeah eyetoy came out before wii, but it was a half assed attempt that noone cared about. It was Nintendo that pioneered motion controls and got people excited about it. Sony (and Microsoft) just jumped on the bandwagon.

Same with this. Doesn't matter how long they've had it in development. They are late to the party and the title of pioneer has gone to others.

the same could have been said about motion controlls back in 2006

its kinda ironic, i think when many all the time call out Sony as the one getting out the copy machine, when companies build their console with the motion control as the main idea to be innovative, and that Sony just does not innovate. than if you look at which motion control system is the best out of the three to interact with for 1st person shooter's, which is the better one. and people have been calling Sony's method an "After thought" with no innovation what so ever...LMAO
