After announcing the launch of its next-gen PS VR2 headset and PS VR2 Sense controllers at CES 2022, Sony has now revealed the design of its upcoming VR wearable and accessories. The latest addition to Sony’s VR lineup comes with a similar design as its predecessor, but it features some welcome changes. Here’s a quick look.
Sony recently shared an official blog post to reveal the design of the PS VR2 headset and the PS VR2 Sense controllers. While the PS VR2 headset comes with a similar adjustable scope as the original PS VR headset, it has a similar shape as the new PS VR2 Sense controllers, matching the “orb” look of the controllers. Sony states that the rounded orb-look is to depict the 360-degree view that players experience when they wear the VR headset and enter a virtual world.
“Our goal is to create a headset that will not only become an attractive part of your living room decor but will also keep you immersed in your game world, to the point where you almost forget you are using a headset or controller. That’s why we paid very close attention to the ergonomics of the headset and conducted extensive testing to ensure a comfortable feel for a variety of head sizes,” Hideaki Nishino, the Senior Vice President of Platform Experience at Sony, wrote in the blog post.
Yujin Morisawa, the Senior Art Director at Sony, is really proud of the engineering team to come up with the new vent design. Moreover, the new design changes and features were all integrated while making the actual headset slimmer and more compact than the original PS VR headset, which was quite a challenge for the team.
