Sony’s Oculus Rift Competitor Wants To Replace Your iPad For Entertainment [CES 2014]

Sony-HMZ-T3Q

CES 2014 bug One of the potentially coolest gadgets unveiled at CES 2014 so far is Sony’s virtual reality headset.

Named the HMZ-T3Q (a follow-up to last year’s HMZ-T3W), Sony’s new Oculus Rift competitor is designed primarily for movie fans and gamers, and offers a virtual screen reaching up to 750 inches.

The idea is that the portable headset could replace smartphones, tablets and laptops in certain entertainment settings — with the added benefit of privacy.

“The head-mounted display is a theater on your head,” noted Michael Fasulo, Sony Electronics’ president and COO during his CES keynote speech.

The headset is also aware of users’ movements — a definite positive for gaming — so when users turn their heads it can focus in on that particular scene.

No word yet on pricing or release date.
