Sony is eager to tease some new information about its upcoming PlayStation VR2 headset. New to the VR2 is the ability to use the headset's outer cameras to see what's going on in your room without having to take the VR2 off, a useful feature that'll let players locate their controllers a bit easier. Those cameras will also allow you to map your play area, by scanning your room to make a safe boundary, with an included warning sound if you go outside of it while playing. Another inclusion is 360-view game content, with a 4000x2040 resolution, as well as a cinematic mode, meant for watching media at 1080p at 24hz on a virtual screen.

The original PSVR was horrendous, but this at least seems somewhat promising. Funny how they seem to be suddenly putting effort into this after what Playstation's CEO said in 2020.

I just wish they would go wireless, I guess I’m spoiled after playing The Oculus 2.

Review unit please @Chary

Did someone tell them that it has a wire?

 

[HideoKojima]

That's how you screw your vision

Did someone tell them that it has a wire?

Someone: Hey Sony, so..what about that wire?
Sony: Waves hand, what wire?

I believe that for now, the only way to make a good wireless VR headset would be to make it a stand alone device with the entire computer build into the headset.
At least for now.

Maybe in the future with Wifi 9 we can have wireless streaming suitable for VR.
the latency needs to be very low, and the bandwidth needs to be very high.
Also the connection needs to be very stable with minimal interference.

We are simply not there yet. I can sort of use PS Remote play with my Wifi6 router, but it's not very stable. Over LAN it's much much better.

I would not like that experience in a VR headset.

I wish they would give official pc support.

Indeed it does.

He’s likely flogging his minions to ensure his “predictions” come true:
PlayStation's CEO said VR will not be "meaningful component of interactive entertainment" until at least 2022

People complaining about the wire, I had a PSVR and bow have a Quest 2, the wire is really no big deal, the real pisser at the time was that it needed it's own box, a USB wire, a power cord, an HDMI leadto the PS4 and to the TV. It looked like your PS4 was on life support.

The Quest 2 is cool and all but it is underpowered so games are kind of bare bone on the visual side.

PSVR2 are waste money and useless. I'm not fans of VR. I'm not interest in VR anymore. Companies made VR and will see poor sales then stop support VR.

I love controller over VR. More easily and not much hassle than VR.

You should write an email directly to the CEO of Sony to tell them they are wasting their time developing a product that YOU aren't interested in.

Hating that, but how would the ps4 send the display if it didn't have the box to take the ps4 output to the box input, then send to the vr headset.

As long as you have plenty of cable, nothing can beat a direct connection for best results.

Wires are not a problem when I play vr, mainly because I am sat down anyway.

My ISP are a set of phoney cunts that claim to provide fibre speed of 400mbps, yet the crap router they provide when installing cant cope as soon as someone tries downloading.

And everyone in my house are constantly online, either streaming, gaming, if I was to try remotely stream vr, my ISP would struggle and probably buffer or display at a crap resolution.

So I'd rather cut that crap out and have a wire direct to the console to transmit the display to the vr headset.

My favorite aspect of VR is playing with a group in my living room (having older family members try it for the first time, while streaming it is always a good time). I have a Quest 1, and that's the biggest caveat for me currently, since I need to stream to my TV or Shield, and the quality isn't that great.

Having a headset integrated with my PS5 sounds perfect for that specific experience, so I'm pretty hyped for this.

But I just bought the Quest 2 yesterday !

 

[Lazyt]

Wow this thing exist?

 

[Axido]

From the company that brought you:
- a cheap copy of Wii motion controls
- a cheap copy of Kinect full-body motion capturing
- a cheap copy of Super Smash Bros.
- a cheap copy of HD Rumble

Get ready for a cheap copy of the Oculus Quest (wirelessness not included).

Well, if Sony doesn't play it dumb and gives this thing an affordable price compared to the retarded price hike of the oculus/quest/whatever, I'mma bet they gonna be seeing lots of sales, lol, if they also decide to make it PC compatible, even more (or someone figures how to get it working on PC)

From my experience with the original unit, it was blatantly low resolution; the quick response helped a lot though.
