Sony has filed a number of patents that could indicate a PS4 virtual reality headset is on the way.
The patents, which detail an audio system (http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP2661097A2.pdf) and head mounted display (http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP2660645A1.pdf), were first spotted on popular web forumNeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=710820).
Highlighted within the audio system patents are methods of alerting players to real-world emergencies, while details of the head mounted display refer detail head motion detection and imagine stabilisation.
Both patents together would certainly indicate a device capable of rivalling the Oculus Rift.
Revealed yesterday, the patents were filed by Sony back in May 2013. Internally, the device has been demonstrated with first-party racing title DriveClub.
The device is expected to make its debut next year, with a potential reveal scheduled for Gamescom 2014.
