Sony recently demonstrated a virtual reality headset that they have been working on. A pair of futuristic looking glasses that pack two tiny OLED screens for you to experience HD video (1280 x 720) with integrated headphones that simulate high quality 5.1 channel surround sound. The two screens work together to give you an immersive 3D experience by presenting each eye with a slightly different image. Besides making you look like a cast member from Star Trek: The Next Generation, it will block out everything around you (obviously) so besides what you see in front of you and what’s pumping through the ear phone speakers. You won’t be aware of your surroundings (well almost completely because you still have your sense of smell and touch) so it will feel like you are in a totally different reality. Paired up with a PlayStation Move, I think this device will bring gaming to the next level. We can’t wait.
