Hardware
Project Morpheus' curved, stylish black visor is worn over your eyes. The black visor features a 1080p HD LCD display with 960 x 1080 resolution for each eye. It's edges consist of LED lights that emit a glowing blue light when the device is in use. A white, headband-like apparatus extrudes from top of the visor. The headband-like apparatus is worn over your head to securely and comfortably attach the visor over your eyes. Additional black strap is worn around your head to further adhere the visor to your face. Because of the sensor placed at the back of your head, you can make 180 degree turns and allow Morpheus to accurate detect your line of sight.
Project Morpheus connects to a PlayStation 4 for information processing and streaming. A small, black box is required to be connected to the PS4 to handle 3D rendering required by Morpheus. The box can be attached to a monitor to display Morpheus' user's view in an altered form.
Project Morpheus integrates with various other products in the PlayStation universe such as PlayStation Camera, PS Move and PS4 Controller. Morpheus integrates with the PlayStation Camera to accurately track the user's head movements and positions. When used with PS Camera, the camera tracks the user up to 1000 times per second. The camera allows more precise tracking when combined with in-helmet sensors.
Project Morpheus uses the 3D audio technology developed by Sony. Users will not only experience sound from left, right, front and back but also hear sound from above and below.
