Introducing PlayStation Flow

A watershed moment in wearable tech

At PlayStation we’ve always been dedicated to bringing gamers immersive experiences. From innovative features like Remote Play and Share Play to the endless possibilities of the upcoming Project Morpheus, PS4 is continually creating new ways to play.

Here at the PlayStation Wearable Entertainment Technology (P-WET) group we are ready to add to that list of innovations, as we announce the latest breakthrough in fully-immersive gaming – PlayStation Flow.

PlayStation Flow combines PS4 gaming with real-life swimming. When you get to an underwater section of a game like The Last of Us Remastered you can hit pause, head to your nearest pool, dive in and resume playing through PlayStation Flow. With underwater environments in games becoming more and more realistic, we think that PlayStation Flow provides a natural enhancement to player experience.

The system consists of four PlayStation Flow Sensors, constructed using the latest composite fabrics. They attach comfortably to your biceps and thighs and track your swimming, sending real-time updates of body movements back to your PS4 via Remote Play.

The PlayStation Flow Goggles stream game data from your PS4 via Bluetooth and display gameplay once activated poolside. Our PlayStation Waterproof Earphones deliver stunning sound even underwater to complete the immersion.

We know that players want to get back to the action as soon as possible, so we’re also proud to introduce the PlayStation Flow Body Dryer – the perfect accompaniment to PlayStation Flow. It uses ionizing technology to dry you within seconds.

For a deeper understanding of how it all works check out the video, and stay tuned for more information from the PlayStation Wearable Entertainment Technology group.

With Project Morpheus and more on the way it’s a very exciting time for PlayStation innovation. Watch this space for more immersive experiences as we continue to push the boundaries of play.

Oh wow, such flow

Looks amazing, I'll have to do my swimming sections in the bath though

I would imagine it uses grapheme. Or something.

I'm sure weight would be an issue with something like this. So, does anyone know if the Flow is heavy?

I really can't wait for this shite to stop. Next year, I'm turning the internet off for the morning.

Gaming websites on the 1st April are often filled with lies, not pranks, e.g. 'Shenmue HD announced.'

The PS Flow vid has quite a Jonny Ive-esque intro. The stupidity of pausing your game then going down to a local swimming pool to continue it in the pool, doesn't make it so different from all the other wacky motion products companies have tried and will continue to try to flog us. I'll admit I did chuckle when the guy shouts out (1m38s) "Oh my God, this is amazing!"

A few months ago, my mate excitedly sent me a Shenmue 3 link suggesting it was finally coming. It was an IGN (I think) April Fools prank from a few years ago :fp:
