Sony bringing updated 3D headset to TGS

Okay, anyone else wondering why they show shots of someone fixing it with a screwdriver?

Welcome to the World

I wholeheartedly support this trend, but no comment on this specific device until I see it in practical use.

Sony really pushing this 3D stuff huh... I got love for Sony but they gotta come up with something better than this or keep their focus more on the next gen console.. Just my opinion

Someone will eventually make good VR, and it will become the next big thing. Just not anytime soon I reckon.

Show me the medals!

I'm not getting it due mostly to the fact that unlike the original concept design, this headset does not make the wearer look or feel like Cyclops from the X-Men series.

Looks like something out of Splinter Cell.

hmmm if this headset displays everything at close proximity then it will cause a lot of eye damage. Book worms and nerds generally wear glasses because their natural eye seeing distance (usually about 20yards) would be accommodated for a closer distance.

This technology can cause a lot of health problems to future generations if it isn't properly developed for the human eye.

a 360 degree head tracking would make gt5 awesome along with my driving wheel and play seat. but unfortunately I'm stereoscopic blind so I'm likely to pass.

Nice one Seb, looks interesting indeed :).

these VR googles has been around since the 1990s

It's like the electric car, forever just a gimmick

I have the first version of this and it is pretty awesome it is like having a theater size 3d tv the only problem I have with are the headphones but this will allow you use any headphone you want or the ones that comes with it if I do get this one I would probably use the new PS3 headset along with it because of the mic for online play

if it works it ll be the obvious step. Multiple wireless adaptations will follow to provide a deeper experience. It doesn't work too well on the vita (a different platform and concept, augmented though). 

If this technology become the mainstream of consumer gaming, it will mark a turning point in history of video game. Players could be stunned by its innovative gaming experience.

This could mark the milestone for virtual reality prototype, However, I believe it will take a few decades to complete the ultimate immersing virtual reality experience for consumer product without headset.

This is something I will buy in the future, better than 3D television from what I have heard even better than cinema.

This is precisely why Sony has made a loss the last 5 years.

When I think Sony products I think $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ -.-

Wow, I guess Sony is still pursuing this ever since they released the Sony Glassatrons almost 2 decades ago. I hope that it goes over well this time.

only when it's cheaper

Get a 3d tv which 720 and ps4 will support. Get a 4k TV which only ps4 will support. Get a HDZ display which only one person can use, gives the best 3d experience even more so than IMAX, but may be too heavy for long gaming sessions. Which to upgrade too. Need a new something within a year.

They stole the idea from this guy!!

I want something like this to work so badly but I also want it to have a motion sensor so that I can move my head to look around in the game world. It would be so much more immersive that way. Hopefully they will perfect this technology and have a very clear image with 3D that doesn't cause headaches. For me this is the next big evolution in gaming. True visual immersion in the game world.

I suppose VR is the next step for gaming after the next console generation runs its course.

Lord knows that there isn't going to be much room left for upgrades to the visual quality in games and advances will have to be made in other ways.

Although feels like a fool for buying the HMZ-T1, but someone has to be the early adopters so that Sony could keep listening to feedbacks and improve their products.

I've been keeping some money aside waiting for the right time to get a 3DTV or 3D projector, but the time doesn't seem right yet for me. I hope this is where gaming is going instead because these headsets will be way cheaper and likely much better.

I'm interested to see how this helps with game immersion especially with RPGs. Actually this technology could potentially have some crazy potential. Imagine years from now you could actually play games just though lenses like these without a TV. You wouldn't have to buy a huge TV you'd have it all in front of your eyes.

All it makes me think of, the future of MMOs. It looks like something out of the .hack universe, so we could have a virtual reality MMO. 

Has anyone hating on this even tried it out? I've had the chance to experience using this at an exclusive Sony event and it was mind-blowing. There is no need to buy a 3k 3D TV if you have this hooked up with your PS3. For me personally, the glasses plus television combo doesn't work, but this makes that simpler and much more realistic - it makes you feel you are right in the game or concert (I was being shown a music video). Just as soon as this becomes wireless, I'll be placing my order disregarding the price.

Looks silly.
