The battle for virtual reality headsets is fierce and some experts think Sony will emerge as the winner.
PS VR2 Headset Teardown Video – First Look with Engineers Behind the Next-Gen Hardware
Sony has confirmed the launch date and price of the PlayStation VR2. The PS VR2 will be released on February 22, 2023 for $550 and will include the headset and two PS VR2 Sense controllers. On paper, at least, the PS VR2 offers advantages over the recently released Meta Quest Pro.
"The [PS VR2] is a better device in my opinion; it weighs less and it even has 4K resolution," Bob Bilbruck, Captjur's CEO and a technology analyst, told Lifewire in an email interview. "Quest Pro is heavier, [but] the whole point of VR is to have an immersive experience. Meta uses facial recognition technology, while Sony uses advanced eye recognition technology, which provides a much more immersive user experience and a more realistic experience."
Sony is betting big on its latest headset as an accessory for its PlayStation 5 gaming console. Upgrades from the previous-generation model include headset feedback, eye tracking, 3D audio, and the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback of the PS VR2 Sense controllers.
