Project Morpheus 85% Complete, Smartphone Components Will Keep Cost Low
Posted on the 21 September 2014 by Sameo452005 @iSamKuliiWhile Sony’s Project Morpheus isn’t quite ready for retail, it’s close to being “finished,” according to what Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida told the Wall Street Journal.
Speaking with the trade paper at TGS 2014 this week, Yoshida said once the virtual reality device hits the market, it should be rather affordable considering many of its components are currently used in smartphones.
According to Yoshida, Sony has completed 85% of the work needed on Morpheus, and hopefully, the headset will have broad appeal.
“With the Morpheus and PlayStation 4, we can offer them a totally new virtual reality experience in a lighthearted and fun manner,” he said, adding virtual travel and education possibilities.
