PSVR can also utilize the PS4’s built-in sharing functions for screenshots, screen recording, and livestreaming with the Social Screen (the view shown on the TV). You’ll see the HDMI source in a virtual screen, as you would with the regular Cinematic Mode. You simply connect the HDMI source to the rear of the breakout box that would otherwise be connected to the PS4’s HDMI. The PSVR can also view any HDMI source in Cinematic Mode. In the other modes, the screen stays in the same virtual location, independent from your head movement. In the small size, the screen stays centered in your view regardless of which direction you turn. The size of the screen can be adjusted from small, medium and large. In this mode, you’ll see a large virtual screen in a virtual space. The PSVR can also be used to play any non-VR games or apps in a giant virtual screen, called Cinematic Mode. There are also apps for viewing 360 videos such as Within (formerly Vrse), Littlstar, Vrideo, and Hulu VR. However, 3D photos and videos are not yet supported on the app. Here is a list of games for the PSVR, both exclusive and otherwise.īesides games, PSVR can be used to view 360 photos and videos (in standard equirectangular format) stored on a USB thumbdrive, using the version 2.5 of the Media Player app. The free downloadable game Playroom VR also showcases asymmetric gameplay, where the VR user cooperates or competes with other players who use the TV screen. Harmonix Music VR’s demo has minigames that include an app similar to Tiltbrush, and another app where you can use the motion controllers to choreograph the dance movements of some characters. Besides the usual shooters like Battlezone and Eve: Valkyrie, there were innovative games such as Wayward Sky, which utilizes a hybrid locomotion technique that uses the third person perspective for locomotion and a first person view for interaction. The PSVR also includes a demo disc, which showcased a wide variety of PSVR games. Here’s a video of Playroom VR by Gamersdyle: Even though Playroom VR is very short, it’s as though the game designers really took their time to design the game to the best of their ability. For example, the game is played while seated but some secret areas become accessible only if you stand and move the controller sideways. Robot Rescue also makes creative use of VR. When you rescue robots, Asobi punts them to your controller, where the virtual controller’s touchpad opens up like a compartment and the rescued robot jumps in to join the other rescued bots. An adorable robot character named Asobi appears to jump out of your gamepad and onto the level. In one minigame called Robot Rescue, you start the game by pushing the touchpad on your gamepad. One example is Playroom VR, a free party game for the PSVR. Games for the PSVR generally seem much more polished than the Vive, and even more polished than those on the Rift or Gear VR. In my view, perhaps the greatest strength of the Playstation VR is the quality of its games. Fourth, if you want to look around your room temporarily, you can do so easily by moving the visor forward and looking below the visor. The halo does get sweat, but it is made of plastic and rubber and is easily wiped clean with antimicrobial wipes. Third, because the visor is barely touching your face, the visor doesn’t get sweaty, plus there is less tendency for the lenses to fog up. Second, it makes it very convenient to wear the headset over prescription glasses. Although the PSVR has the heaviest headset (610g) in this group, it is the most well-balanced and feels the lightest. It isn’t front heavy like the HTC Vive or Gear VR. First, the weight of the headset is evenly distributed around your entire head and over your neck. Note also the embossed triangle, circle, x and square which show the positions of the attachments for the faceplate. Note the microphone on the left, and the button for moving the visor forward or backward. You press a button on the bottom of the visor to move it forward or backward. The headset rear has a dial that you can turn to tighten the crown, and a button to release the dial. You slip the rear part behind your head, with the crown being angled like a laurel wreath. To wear the PSVR headset, you pull apart the crown and put the padded front part above your forehead. While all other VR headsets have used some type of headstrap that pulls the visor to your face, the PSVR uses a generously padded halo-like crown that suspends the visor in front of your eyes. The PSVR is the most comfortable VR headset to date.
