Sony Looking at Force-Feedback, Eye-Tracking Control for Project Morpheus

VRFocus - As 2014 draws to a close consumer virtual reality (VR) feels closer than ever thanks to the launch of Samsung’s Gear VR smartphone-based head-mounted display (HMD) and teases of a release for the Oculus Rift. Despite this, the industry doesn’t feel much closer to solving the issue of input for VR experiences, creating a definitive standard for control that won’t break immersion. Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) has its PlayStation Move motion controllers for its Project Morpheus, although the company has recently revealed that it is looking into other areas as well.

wooow. imagine eye tracking looking in the direction you want to see and the screen moving there... genius! would totally limit how much you would have to move your head around to see things; total realistic immersion!

THC CELL4192d ago

I think they patented this idea too

PoSTedUP4192d ago (Edited 4192d ago )

did they? idk. i Do know that they had a deal or partnership with NASA a year or so back specifically just for this technology. hope we get to see it this gen!

There was a report about eye tracking where the reporter mentioned that Sony let him play infamous without a controller, and that it actually worked quite seemlessly, and he was "amazed". Apparentely he could shoot at enemies by looking at them with the intention to shoot. Which is beyond me.

PoSTedUP4192d ago

oh yeaah, i remember that. sounds like sony is not playing around this gen. they mean business.

Yaay4me4192d ago

Yup VR is going to be amazing i think.

I'm very much looking forward to Morpheus and Rift, but every time I hear something new about Morpheus, it involves "thinking about" or "hoping to implement", which indicates it's still a long way from production. It's almost 2015...when will we see this thing in homes? Last I heard they were contemplating oled or led for the display. Has there been any update on that decision yet? As far as I know the oled is still a rumor and not confirmed? I know I'm hoping for oled.

This is the evolution I expected from this Gen, and the main reason I bought into it.

yarbie10004192d ago

I like the eye tracking and how you could be talking to someone and they look you in the eye

fOrlOnhOpe574192d ago

I'm really interested in the whole Morpheus VR thing but it still sounds someway off from being a product that is ready to be released. Equally important, the price of all this new technology will have to prove cost-effective for mass production/uptake by PS4 owners.
I hope they can pull it off.

The new 3DS tracks your eyes in order to adjust the 3D so that the 3D effect does not fall apart so easily when you rotate the machine to the left or right. Apparently it works really well.

wsoutlaw874192d ago

That would be head tracking. Eye tracking would be pretty pointless on a 3ds.

Are a bunch of games, some of which are nearly 10 years old not one being from 2026. Barely one from 2025.

I do like the irony of the closing paragraph though, "Why VR Adventure Games are Thriving". Really buddy?

mooreneco2152d ago

That’s because it’s his favourite VR adventure games thus far, a great game always a great game regardless of age - Half life 2/ Ocarina of time - are old but still among the greatest games of all time. The irony of it is several are from last year, depending on platform, have you even played VR?
