Summer Lesson

In Summer Lesson, the player takes the role of a tutor to a girl during her summer vacation and communicates with her. It does not use traditional game controllers but the physical movements of the PlayStation VR head-mounted accessory.

Summer Lesson was announced on September 1, 2014 as a tech demonstration making use of the virtual reality technology under development by Sony Computer Entertainment, which was then called "Project Morpheus". The video demo and screenshots of the game caused some controversy in the West, with some users on Twitter questioning the game's content and its setting in a "typical Japanese schoolgirl's room". While expected to appear at the 2014 Tokyo Game Show, it was eventually pulled because there were not enough Project Morpheus demo units with Summer Lesson available for enough people to try them out.

Motion capture was used for the character movements in the game, although the recording was done with a headset instead of a traditional "filming set". Natsumi Tagoto was cast as the role of "heroine" Hikari Miyamoto, not only as her voice actor but also as the motion actor. Katsuhiro Harada, the chief director and producer of Summer Lesson, said that the goal of the game was to make the game's character (the student) recognize the player’s existence and become surprised or sad depending on how the player interacts with her. A preview of the game was presented at E3 2015 in playable form, and the game was presented in playable form at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show.
