The announcement of this new hardware is going on right this moment at GDC 2014 as of this posting. Sony has unveiled an Oculus Rift-esque set of VR goggles for the PS4. It will be used in conjunction with the PS Camera, which can read the Dual Shock 4 and the PS Move controller at the same time during use. It will be available for public use for game developers at GDC tomorrow.

I like the idea since everything that has been shown with the Oculus Rift is awesome. But what I dislike is that...it's not the Oculus Rift.

Sony's own device will be a sony only thing, where as the Oculus Rift will be PC centric, which means it can have a LOT more dev and fan development. Where as Sony will probably be insanely strict with it like all of their stuff.

They mentioned that Project Morpheus is currently being focused on the PS4, maybe after that they might make it compatible with PCs. Unless some hacker comes up with drivers to make it compatible on their own.

Somebody leaked a ton of info about Morpheus.

It could be false, but I hope Sony goes for a premium model.
