Sony PS VR2 specifications and features
The PS VR2 will be Sony’s next-gen VR headset that will offer several upgrades over the original PS VR. The latest VR will have a crisper resolution, better field of view, and headset support, and will also feature a USB Type-C port, as the norm right now.
It will come with a 2000 x 2040 pixels resolution for each eye. The display will be OLED on the headset. The field of view will be 110-degree and the refresh rate will be set at up to 120Hz. It will also support 4K HDR.
The new VR headset will have multiple cameras on the inside to track all your movements. It will also have a feature called “headset feedback” aimed at making your VR gaming experience immersive. There will be eye tracking, 3D audio support, and a built-in vibration motor.
The headset will also come with a see-through view feature that will let you view your surroundings in between games. This means you don’t have to remove your headset in order to see your surroundings.
Furthermore, it will also come with a customized play area feature, in which you can set a play area with the cameras on the VR headset. While playing games, if in case you reach closer to the set area, the headset will give you a warning that you are at the boundary. This will be great for people with small apartments.
Lastly, the headset will also have a Broadcast Yourself feature that will let you stream PS games directly on Twitch or YouTube. For this, a PS5 HD camera will be required.
