Finally Sony joins hands with HTC, Samsung by announcing PlayStation VR


Why just saunter away watching a serene beach on TV when you can instead be transported virtually to the sands with water seemingly lapping at your toes? If you love to wear that funny-looking goggle on your face and to watch 3D movies or videos, or play video games,then, here is a good news for you. Guess what you’re going to own for sure this October

Sony finally announced the launch of its virtual reality hardware for Playstation 4 which will debut on October, 13. Surprisingly the cost is $399 which is comparably lesser than Oculus Rift or HTC Vive. According to the press release Sony also proposed that PSVR will come with 50 games at the launch.


Some of the special features of this HMD are :
  •  100-degree field of view
  •  5.7 inch with 1080p OLED display (really appreciable)
  •  120 Hz refresh rate
  •  As per wear-ability, it is slick
  •  Lightweight

It’s hard to believe the power of VR until you’ve put on the headset and replaced your current reality. It can ship you to a completely different place where we haven’t been before. This fall, Sony gets its chance to define the next major evolution in console game when Sony releases PSVR for all the game-lovers.

For all the talk about virtual reality headsets being the future of gaming, we’ve yet to see a moderately affordable virtual reality headset. Oculus, for example, requires a very, very beefy desktop PC with more RAM and a decent graphics card. You can very easily spend $1000 on a PC good enough for Oculus. The headset costs an additional $599.99. By comparison, PlayStation VR is cheaper. 

The headset itself costs a mere modest $399.99 and it is far and away the most convenient of the high-end systems. This is because unlike Rift and Vive, PSVR doesn’t require a powerful gaming PC to run – it’s plugged straight into a PS4. Not only that, the game you’re playing appears not only inside the headset but on your TV, too, making the normally solitary VR experience a lot more social for anyone else in the room.
