While it is still unknown from when the PlayStation VR 2 will be available, and at what price, Sony Interactive Entertainment has decided to offer an overview of the user experience via the PlayStation Blog. Among the novelties, the Japanese manufacturer has integrated the transparent view thanks to which it will be possible to see the environment while having the helmet screwed on the head. "This is a very handy feature that will help you find your PS VR2 Sense controllers around the room without having to remove the headset. Thanks to PS VR2's built-in front cameras, you can press the function key headset, or use the corresponding Map in Control Center, to switch between viewing your surroundings and viewing content on PS VR2.... Since Transparent View is a mere viewing feature, it does not offer any registration option."
Another improvement: it will now be possible to film yourself while playing in virtual reality, by connecting a PS5 HD camera to the console. "It's a perfect way to show other players your movements and reactions during a boss fight, all in real time!" Says Sony Interactive Entertainment. Streamers should enjoy.
The Japanese manufacturer also announces that there will be a way to customize the game space, which will allow the PlayStation VR 2 to adapt to the player's room. "With cameras, you'll be able to scan the room, while PS VR2 Sense controllers will let you expand and further customize the play area to match your playstyle to your surroundings, we're told. During a game, if you get close to the limit you have set up for your Game Space, you will receive a warning. You can change your settings at any time while PS VR2 is connected. Once your Game Space is set up, the settings are saved. However, they will be lost if you change the game space."
Sony Interactive Entertainment also mentions the presence of two modes: "In VR mode, you will be able to enjoy your VR games in a virtual 360° environment. The content will be displayed in 4000 x 2040 HDR video format (2000 x 2040 per eye) with a frame rate of 90Hz/120Hz. In cinematic mode, you will be able to view the PS5 UI and system, as well as all non-VR media and games, on a virtual cinema screen. Content in cinematic mode will be displayed in a 1920x1080 HDR video format with frame rates of 24/60Hz, and even 120Hz."
Finally, it is indicated that the developers will soon have access to the final version of the user experience through an update. “We will provide you with new information soon, including the launch date and additional games that will be released on the platform,” he concludes. It would be time.
