What is the name of Sony's virtual reality headset for PS4?

The story behind the answer

Sony's virtual reality headset for the PlayStation 4 was called PlayStation VR.

Sony first revealed the headset in 2014 under the codename Project Morpheus. It was officially released as PlayStation VR in October 2016, giving PS4 owners a console-based virtual-reality system without requiring a high-end gaming PC.

The first-generation headset used a 5.7-inch OLED display with a combined 1920×1080 resolution, providing 960×1080 pixels per eye. LEDs on the headset were tracked by the PlayStation Camera to estimate the player's head position, while a processor unit handled video output and 3D-audio processing.

PlayStation VR supported DualShock 4 controllers, PlayStation Move controllers, and the PlayStation VR Aim Controller. It is often confused with Project Morpheus, which was the development codename, or PlayStation VR2, Sony's newer headset designed primarily for PlayStation 5.
