Cutting-edge virtual reality headset + cutting-edge graphics engine. Sounds like a racing fanâs cockpit dreams come true.
A new post by the developers of Project Cars says that their ridiculously detailed racing game will be supporting Sonyâs VR headset:
Virtual reality is a perfect fit for racing games since the game world literally comes rushing towards you from the distance and the increased sense of depth and speed that stereoscopic vision affords you makes this incredibly real and tangible. So when youâre racing you get a much better perception of distances and position and you feel far more enveloped by that world rather than just looking through a window at it.
Project Morpheus also allows you to see detail you might have otherwise missed⊠Via our interior cameras not only can you look around the cockpit and see everything from a first-person perspective, but using head-tracking via the PlayStationÂźCamera you can also now move around the cockpit too â peer closer at some intricate detail or turn around and look out of the back window.
