Sony finally took the covers off of Project Morpheus, it’s VR headset that’s been rumoured for months on end, at a GDC 2014 session hosted by SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, alongside R&D senior director Richard Marks and R&D senior software engineer Anton Mikhailov.
Yoshida stated that Project Morpheus was still a work in-progress so expect the final name to be something different. Sony has been working on the headset for quite some time and it will be available for GDC attendees to demo.
