About PlayStation VR
At the Game Developers Conference, Sony has announced that the PlayStation VR headset will launch in October at the retail price of USD $399. This virtual reality headset is one of the most affordable of the non-mobile virtual reality headsets yet.
Andrew House, head of Sony’s gaming division, made the announcement during at GDC in San Francisco. “We firmly believe getting the price right is crucial to driving consumer adoption of any new technology,” House said.

It features 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, 100-degree field of view and 360-degree tracking sensors. It comes with 9 LEDs and 100 degree field of view and a latency rate of less than 18ms.
