Personal and Professional Practice 3: 'Research' Studio Brief - Project Morpheus

Recently I have started to see a lot more development into Project Morpheus which is PlayStation's answer to VR and also provides them with competition towards the Oculus  Rift, from which until recently was a lone contender in the new generation of virtual reality gaming. Over the last few years the Oculus has continued to be in development and it has since seen a lot more games being produced but still hasn't actually launched completely as a piece of hard ware that can be bought for gaming with.

But the Morpheus is definitely a step towards this further and since it is Sony bringing it out they can start developing their own games for it, bringing them as a company ahead of others like Microsoft. Its an interesting idea and move for them as they haven't been big on VR before and the PlayStation Move never really took off as much as the Wii or the Kinect for Xbox did, but it could work out for them. The overall looks a lot more stylish than the Oculus and does look like it could be more comfy, but this could only be determined after trying them both. But the recent footage of the demo 'The Deep', shown below from YouTube, does look incredible in quality, although looks terrifying!

'Revealing this new prototype is an important step in our journey to release Project Morpheus, but there is more to come. We’ll share additional details at E3 and beyond. In particular, we’ll show more VR games at E3 and later events as we get closer to launch.

A new dimension of gaming is almost here, and PlayStation again is at the forefront with Project Morpheus.' (Source)
