Sony are apparently working on a VR Headset for PS4 to rival the Occulus Rift

Sony plans to enter the virtual reality gaming space in a big way with PlayStation 4, Eurogamer can reveal.

Amid the growing popularity of the Oculus Rift VR headset among the development community and a small number of gamers, Sony has been working on a rival device for its next-gen console, and it is on track to be revealed in 2014.

Multiple sources have indicated to Eurogamer that Sony's VR headset will work similarly to Oculus'. Internally, the device has been demonstrated with Evolution Studios' PS4 racer DriveClub, with players able to look around the cockpit of a car.

While it is a shame they couldn't just implement Rift support (I'd rather just buy the one headset to work with both PS4 and PC) this is great news, as VR is truly where next gen will show it's might, and not just down to immersive gaming, this will bring a whole new level of immersion to watching movies and allow for VR-only titles to make it onto PS4.
