The upcoming PlayStation VR2 headset has been illuminated by some of its features released by Sony. The VR2 headset will provide virtual reality interaction for the PlayStation gaming console. While the VR2 headset is focused on virtual reality gaming content, it can also be used for non-VR gaming, says Sony. The device will come with a See-Through View to allow users to view their surroundings when needed. This will be accomplished by either pressing a button on the headset or using a card in the Control Center. The See-Through View does not require the user to take off his headset, hence gaming is not disrupted.
The VR2 headset does not have a recording option and the see-through view will help the player orient himself to the surroundings. The see-through view will also be used to set up the gaming area by mapping the room and creating a border using the controller. A warning notification is given whenever the player gets close to the preset border during gaming. You can livestream your play using a PS5 HD Camera and a screen.
The PlayStation VR2 headset will operate in VR Mode, delivering VR content at 4,000 x 2,040 pixels (that is, 2,000 x 2,040 pixels per eye). The video format will be HDR with 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rates.
As for non-VR content, it will be rendered on a large virtual screen projected at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels resolution. The refresh rates for non-VR content rendering will vary from 24Hz to 120Hz. There is no official or rumored release date yet for the VR2 headset. Sony says it will provide more information soon on the product.
