We’ve spoken in the past about different screens that the PS4 will use such as will the PS4 use 3D or will the PS4 be ready for Super High Vision. One we haven’t touched on yet is the possibility of virtual reality which would allow the games player to completely be immersed in to the PS4 with both sound and audio. By tracking the users head movements, a head mounted display could allow the user to freely look around any 3D world which would cover many types of games from car racing to first person shooting.
With technology advancing and the Playstation 4 being more powerful than the Playstation 3 it could bring VR technology closer to realism allowing those who play the games to almost be immersed fully in the virtual world.
It’s certainly a possibility although if Sony were to take this route then you’d hope that the games cater for both VR glasses and normal viewing as there may be many who would not or could not use a VR headset comfortably. What are your thoughts?

A 3D virtual environment would be the ultimate next step, for the gaming development.
However…. Every great feat of engeneering cant come with his downsides.
What if you have glasses
nvm, i would buy it anyway
I have glasses so have never bothered trying VR type stuff. It could still be an “optional” feature maybe.
you can adjust certain virtual reality sets to a certain extent
If this was a probable situation for the near future then one could always look towards wearing contact lenses instead of glasses.
I would also assume that Sony would look into incorporating the less able sighted as they would loose a large market by ignoring that problem
It would probably be really expensive but a 3D game would be cool. Wonder if there would be gloves to :p
image SONY adding a smelling sensation??!!!
how could you have smelling sensation? i wonder if we will get a yes for a ps4. VR would be good though
How Will You Play???? With Your Mind Or With A Controler??? Wow Would You See What Button You’re Pressing??? This Is randy.
@Orlando… Is that a serious question? Do people still need to look at the controller when playing?
Bring on the virtual Reality!!!
there should be a whole Building for the one game and the size of the level for a FPS
that would be so awesome ^-^
I’d be willing to test any prototypes … >.>
OMG WAIT i had brainstorm
Nano tech i want this t be real

Virtual Reality Would Be Really Cool.
To Answer Your Question Matthew, Some People Can Never Get The Hang Of Using A Controller, So Yes Some People May Have To Look At It.
Looking At The Screen Says It All Though!
Cant Wait For The Playstation 4 To Come Out, Its Gonner Be Sooooo Awsome, Im Gonner Buy One!!!
What Short sighted/Long sighted pepole (I myself am short sighted) really have a problem doing is focusing on objects at the right distance. So I try and look at an object 2 metres away, but my eyes only focus about a meter in front. I’m pretty sure if glasses like this came out we’d be able to just bash in our presciptions and have the device compensate for our eye sight automatically, so no need for glasses. And if you happen to wear contacts, then you would just set it to default.
Unless you were so short sighted that you couldn’t see the screen that’s a centimeter away from your eye.
I think that the PS4 will have VR and i think it will be really cool.
think of call of duty modern warfare in 3D!!!!!! OMG that would rock!!!!
the problem with tht is tht youd have to act the tings like fifa youd have to pretend to runa nd shoot etc.. youd look like a idiot tbh .. too early for VR i think .. wait for couple of years .. we havent really got the right technology to make it safe enough to use 24:7 ..
