Sony have announced plans to showcase a new AR headset at Tokyo Game Show next week - a news that is coming on the back off New York Times' confirmation that Valve are working on a similar device. While there is little to suggestion that any it's directly tied to the Playstation division, the inclusion at Tokyo Game Show suggests that Sony are targeting gamers for the prototype.
The fairly straight forward description as translated by google translate:
