The official introduction to PSVR2:
PlayStation VR2 takes virtual reality gaming to a whole new level, allowing players to feel more immersive and enter the game world like never before. Wearing a headset and holding a controller in hand, players will feel completely different – thanks to our world-class developers, creative in the gaming world and incorporating the latest technology in hardware.
Built on PS5 innovations, PlayStation VR2 delivers a true next-gen experience through highly immersive visuals, new sensory capabilities and enhanced tracking capabilities, combined with a simplified one-line setup.
Realistic Vision: PS VR2 provides 4K HDR, 110-degree field of view, and foveated rendering technology, presenting a high-fidelity visual experience. Players can obtain a display resolution of 2000×2040 per eye and a smooth screen playback rate of 90/120Hz through the OLED screen.
Head-mounted controller tracking: PS VR2 features inside-out tracking, tracking you and your controllers through an integrated camera embedded in the VR headset. Reflect your movements and the direction you’re facing in-game, without the need for an external camera.
New Sensory Capabilities: PS VR2 Sense technology combines eye tracking, headset feedback, 3D audio, and the innovative PS VR2 Sense controller for incredible immersion. Headset Feedback is a new sensory feature that enhances the player’s in-game motion.
Through the vibration function of a single built-in motor, smart tactile elements are added, allowing players to be more engaged in the game experience. For example, players can feel the character’s blood vessels during tense moments, objects whizzing past the character’s head, or the momentum of the vehicle when the character accelerates. In addition, this new immersive experience adds PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech to bring the sound of the player’s surroundings to life.
Eye-tracking: The PS VR2 eye tracking function can detect eye movements, and simply looking in a specific direction can bring additional input information to the game character. This enables players to interact more intuitively in new and realistic ways, which in turn improves emotional responses and intensifies the sophistication of expression, providing a higher level of game reality.
All of these functional evolutions of PlayStation VR2, coupled with the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of the PS VR2 Sense controller, allowing players to experience and interact with games in a more physical way. The PS VR2 will also have easy setup steps – just connect a cable directly to the PS5, and you’ll be in VR right away.
