PlayStation VR2 See-Through View And Other Features Detailed In New Blog Post

Sony has published a PlayStation Blog posting that outlines some new features in its forthcoming PlayStation VR2 headset. 

PS VR2 has a clear view. By hitting a button or using the Card in the Control Center, you can disable game footage and see your surroundings without removing the headset. This is thanks to the device’s embedded front cameras, making it less of a hassle when you need to check on something in the real world. Sony also notes that this mode is for viewing only; you can’t use it to record. By connecting your PS5 HD camera, you can stream yourself playing PS VR2 video games. 

As with the VR boundaries, you can also customize your play space. You can use the headset cameras and Sense controllers to scan the room and dynamically map out the play space to your liking. The settings can be saved so that you don’t lose them when you go to another area. 

PS VR2 has two viewing modes. VR mode allows 360-degree viewing of VR content. It uses 4000 x 2204 HDR video format (4000 x 2040 per Eye) and has a frame rate of 90Hz/120Hz. Cinematic Mode lets players view non-VR media and the PS5 interface in 1920×1080 HDR video format with 24/60Hz and 120Hz frame rate.

PlayStation VR2 still doesn’t have a release window, but Sony promises to share more information “soon.” That includes its launch line-up, which is said to consist of at least 20 games. Titles being developed for the headset include Horizon: Call of the Mountain, ports of Resident Evil Village and No Man’s Sky, and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Ch. 2.

These features are great for PlayStation VR2. What do you think? Comment below to share your opinions!
