Sony Virtual Reality Helmet

Sony just announced more information about it's Virtual Reality (VR) Helmet at the Paris Game Show. It's set to launch sometime in 2016 and will be priced around $400 (a bargain in the gaming world if you ask me). The VR Helmet will be compatible with their most recent iteration of their console, the Play Station 4, and will come out with a slew of games that are currently being developed for it. The controller for the VR can vary from game to game but the main focus will be around Sony's Move Controller (similar to the Wii controller) and their traditional PS4 Controller. The VR Helmet is code named Project Morpheus as it allows humans to "morph" into another reality.

According to Sony's lead engineer on the project, Dennis Castleman, the hardware is already completed and they are now just waiting on games to be developed. The unit is said to be very light and feels like you aren't really wearing anything. The VR Helmet has a 1080p LCD display with an immersive 360 degrees of audio. There is 100 degrees field of view and all images are shown in 3D. The helmet can detect your head movement using an accelerometor and gyroscope that provide a frequency of around 1000Hz meaning that all transitions will seem very smooth and natural.

This is going to be a huge leap forward in the technology industry and gaming will forever be changed by this device. I don't know about you but I can't wait to get my hands on one.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
