New Sony PlayStation VR2 features include a see-through view, broadcast mode, and more

Sony has disclosed new details about its impending PlayStation VR2 headgear, as well as an early look at the virtual reality game console’s user interface. New features include a see-through vision that allows players to see their surroundings without removing their console headset, as well as a broadcast option that allows users to stream their games on sites such as Twitch.

Here are all of the latest Sony PlayStation VR 2 details described in depth.

See-through view

Users will be able to see their surroundings when using the PlayStation VR2 headset. This will function similarly to how transparency mode works on noise cancelling headphones, and the feature will be powered by the PlayStation VR2’s inbuilt front cameras.

Sony claims that this will be beneficial when you need to quickly check on little items around the house or locate your PS VR2 controllers after using the headset with your hands. Sony further states that the see-through view will only be available for viewing and will not be recordable.

Mode of broadcast

The PlayStation VR2’s new broadcasting capability allows players to connect a PS5 HD camera to the system and film themselves playing the game. “It’s a terrific method to exhibit your motions and reactions during a boss encounter and share your reactions with your other gamers in real time,” Sony says.

Customizable play area

Players will be able to modify the inbuilt cameras and examine the room around them with the PlayStation VR2. They can then personalise the experience to their preferences and receive boundaries if they approach one of the pre-defined boundaries. Whenever the PlayStation VR2 is attached, settings can also be changed later.

Cinematic mode and VR mode

The PlayStation VR2 will also include a VR mode as well as a Cinematic mode. The former will allow players to practically experience VR game content in a 360-degree view, with the content displayed in a 40002040 HDR video format. This is available in 90Hz and 120Hz.

Players may view the PS5 system, UI, as well as all non-VR games on a virtual cinema screen in 19201080 HDR video formats with 24Hz or 60Hz with optional 120Hz compatibility in Cinematic mode.

Sony also stated that more information about the PlayStation VR 2 will be released soon, as well as a debut date and new games in the near future.
