Wanderson75.net's Will Anderson takes the HMZ-T1 Head Mounted Display for a test drive, and then ponders throwing his hat in the ring as a Daft Punk DJ.
VRFocus reports on the news that Sony will be ending its HMZ line of personal viewers with the release of the Project Morpheus HMD incoming.

I suspect that they will make Morpheus capable of acting as personal display.
Can you image the enormous market if Morpheus can be used as a personal movie TV, PRIVATE computer screen, display for ANY HDMI device (including competitor consoles, PS3, PS TV, TV top boxes, blue ray, etc).
Obviously used on other device than PS4 it would not be a VR screen, just a personal screen (until driver/support for other devices would be developped which may never happen, thought it is likely unofficial ones would be made for PC). That still mean a big market.
Which in turn could sell more PS4 and more PS4 related software. If people buy Morpheus for other uses and don't have a PS4, buying a PS4 would then mean using the Morpheus to it's full potiental (for VR).
That also removed the burden of those saying that they won't buy Morpheus because they fear that it won't be supported. Even if Sony drop the ball on support, then Morpheus would still be usable as a display (and as such not wasted money).
If that's truly the case (Morpheus as a personal display for any HDMI source) then I am sure it will be a HUGE success by itself and increase the already impressive PS4 sales.
I just hope its affordable the hmz t3 headset runs for about 1,000$ and its using less advanced technology than the morpheus.
Everyone should try these! My ex had the T1 and it's amazing, was my tv everytime I went to her place. So immersive and the 3D was perfect.
Really hope we can use Morpheus as a screen too.
Competition in the VR space is inevitable -- and that Oculus is ready for it.
"There will be other people, I'm sure, and in a way that's good, because the more people get into the space the more that legitimizes it," Luckey told Gamasutra in the interview, published today.

Great attitude from the OR guys. Instead of worrying that they might get less slices of the pie, theyre happy that the pie is getting larger.
i think its actually good news for them because it will make their product more mainstream
Step (and reach) into the mysterious forest of Datura with this video analysis of its PlayStation Move controls, and learn how to turn it into a Virtual Reality experience...
Enjoy!
some ps3 developers need to use platic's tech and make a stealth game like iWaggle3D says >:D imagine the immersion of that game!
Excellent video as ever iWaggle3D.
I spent a few hours with this game last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Took me a few attempts to calibrate the Move to my liking but once I got it, it worked quite well.
The 3D is what really makes this game shine though, the sense of depth is fantastic, the leaves and insect flying around you look great and the way the tree branches come at you as you walk is really cool.
