Game developer reports his impressions of the updated Project Morpheus prototype after trying it during an internal conference.
VRFocus delivers the latest entry in its 'VR vs.' series, this week looking at the rebranding of Project Morpheus to PlayStation VR.
Yes, we got attached to the name Morpheus. It was a phenomenally better name than what they finalized. Oh well... It's sometimes the name that sells a product better than anything else. I just hope they didn't screw the pooch with this simplistic name change.
Are you serious? How casuals would know what's Morpheus? Playstation VR is perfect. New name tells it all.
VR will primarily be a niche product -- mostly for hardcore gamers, VR enthusiasts, and for viewing movies in privacy.
Very few "casual" consumers will be interested in it.
Doesn't change a thing in what I said. And how do you know it's going to be a niche product? You think that over 20 million PS4 owners aren't waiting for it? I see a million in first month if they deliver on launch content and won't go too high with the price. Bottom line, it's way too soon to judge it like that.

As the appeal of virtual reality (VR) grows, slowly reaching a wider audience before any of the official head-mounted displays (HMDs) have actually launched, a community of VR enthusiasts want to learn and teach what the technology has to offer. So Crossover Labs has partnered up with Popathon to create Unfold, a introduction to creating VR environments using tech that people already own.
