The VR headset that Sony revealed last year, Project Morpheus has been given a release time. Sony are aiming to release Morpheus in 2016.

At GDC Sony revealed that they are hoping to get its VR headset out into the market in the first half of the next year, showing off their latest prototype and details on its specifications.

Morpheus will feature a 5.7 inch, 1920×1080 RGC OLED display with a refresh rate of 120hz, and what Sony promises will be “super low latency”. It will also have a 100-degree field of view and the last prototype’s three LEDs for positional tracking has been upped to nine to improve the accuracy. The overall design has also been tweaked to allow users to equip and take off.

Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida spoke to the crowd about the device saying that the reason so little had been heard of it since GDC last year was down to the fact that they were using both consumer and developer feedback to modify and improve the device. There have already been some tests with some tech demos such as with diving simulator The Deep.
