Good news for people wanting to escape reality from the comfort of their own living room. The first details of Sony’s PlayStation 5 virtual reality headset have leaked, thanks to a “closed door summit” of developers where, evidently, the doors weren’t shut very tightly after all. If the details here are true, this is going to be a big step up from the original Play Station virtual reality (PSVR). Uneven frame rates in virtual reality can cause motion sickness, and people throwing up when using your product isn’t ideal PR (unless you happen to manufacture syrup of ipecac). For that reason, Sony is apparently encouraging teams making big PS5 titles to support VR as an alternative way of playing the regular “flat” game.
