Sony is getting into April Fools’ Day spirit and it's just confirmed the special PlayStation Flow gadget, which consists of a pair of glasses and a few other accessories to blend together actual swimming with virtual swimming from PS4 games.

April Fools has already brought forth some pretty cool pranks from gaming companies, in the form of fake announcements for things that will never see the light of day, but also a few actual modes and surprises for popular games.

PlayStation Flow is a surprisingly attractive device

Now, it's time for Sony to get into the April Fools’ Day spirit, and as you can imagine, the large corporation has used its considerable resources to up the ante and show off a very nifty idea with a solid presentation.

The company announces, on its PS blog, the PlayStation Flow gadget, a system composed out of a set of glasses, headphones, and bands that strap onto your body for when you go swimming. In case you can't tell from the images and the video below, the actual Flow gadget is used to blend together real-life swimming with the virtual one.

PS4 owners who go through games with swimming portions, like The Last of Us Remastered, can strap the bands and put on the glasses to control their characters and see the actual gameplay footage that's streamed right to the actual eyewear.

Of course, the presentation video below really takes the cake, showcasing how the PlayStation Flow can be used for truly immersive gameplay. What's more, to make getting back to gaming even easier, a special full body drier that, using the power of ions, can produce instant results is also presented.

Check out the PlayStation Flow gadget in action in the images below and in the impressive video.

Unfortunately, it's still an April Fools’ prank and won't ever see the light of day. Even so, the company emphasizes that Project Morpheus is real and it will deliver a great virtual reality experience.
