SCE President explains why VR and Project Morpheus are no fad It's easy to dismiss virtual reality as just another passing trend. SCE President Shuhei Yoshida does not believe this to be the case and cites the potential of VR tech.

Some are dismissing virtual reality as a fad. A passing trend that will simply fade in the coming years. Sony is not seeing it this way. They see longevity in virtual reality and that's why they envision success for their entry into the VR world: Project Morpheus.

"VR, you think it's solo, because you're inside of a headset," Project Morpheus creator Richard Marks tells Shacknews. "But actually, we changed the design of ours so you can look outside of the headset very easily now. Also, we're really looking into how you can have VR be more social. You can do it online, actually, and seeing someone in the same space as you in VR, you can have a very personal experience."

Marks and Sony Computer Entertainment president Shuhei Yoshida go on to discuss the potential variety in virtual reality games, where controllers fit (or don't fit) into the virtual reality landscape, and how VR will grow in the near future. For the full interview, check out the video below.
