Sony's PlayStation 4 virtual reality headset will finally be unveiled next month at GDC 2014, a new report suggests.http://images.eurogamer.net/2013/articles/1/6/5/7/0/2/9/139299298845.jpg/EG11/resize/300x-1/quality/70/format/jpgSony's £1000 HMZ-T2 personal 3D viewer.
TechRadar reports (http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/sony-set-to-reveal-ps4-virtual-reality-headset-at-gdc-2014-1226620) that the anticipated VR device will be formally announced at the San Francisco conference next month, which begins 17th March.Like the Oculus Rift headset, the virtual reality visor will wrap a pair of screens onto the wearer's head. But, unlike Oculus, Sony is expected to have perfected the technology to a degree that multiple versions of the hardware won't need to be released."Sony has deliberately taken its time to tweak and polish the headset before revealing it," a source said. "People will definitely be impressed with what Sony's built."Eurogamer broke news of the headset last September (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-09-03-sony-set-to-go-big-with-virtual-reality-on-playstation-4), when we learnt that it had originally been destined for a reveal at Gamescom 2013.Its unveiling there was pulled, and its appearance delayed into 2014 - a moment that now sounds on the horizon.When quizzed about the device last year, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida simply said: "We don't talk about that."
