Sony has introduced a new virtual reality headset for its smash-hit game console PlayStation 5. The next launched headset was teased at CES in January; however, the company has finally introduced PlayStation VR2,which has a VR2 headset and the VR2 gaming controllers.
The company said that the design of the newly launched product has come from the PS5 family. “We already had a lot of positive feedback on the ergonomics of the first PS VR headset by carefully balancing the headset weight and having a simple headband that can be adjustable, so we kept the same concept for the PS VR2 headset,” Hideaki Nishino, Sony’s Senior Vice President of Platform Experience wrote in a blog post.
“Other features such as the headset’s adjustable scope that places the scope area closer or further away from the face and placement of the stereo headphone jack also remain the same, so players will be familiar with it,” he added.
Notably, the company has not made several changes in the design. In fact, it has added some features that will make it more comfortable in case you are using it for a long time. In addition, the company states that it has added a vent design to the newly launched headset. Besides, the headset comes with a lens adjustment dial so that users can match the lens distance between their eyes. The headset is slimmer and light in weight that making it comfortable.
