PSVR 2, anyone interested?

While they are far from perfect, they don’t have the triggering glare…Aren't you triggered by the fresnel lenses?
For text clarity pancake lenses are way better but for games like resident evil I much prefer psvr.
The fact that Sony says it's looking at some form of PC VR compatibility doesn't seem like a coincidence does it? Few if any first party titles will make the PSVR2 less appealing compared to Meta and Steam VR headsets.
They need content and they're not going to provide it unfortunately.

Yeah it’s very sad that there might be no more exclusive games and I hope the pcvr compatibility will come in the form of a dongle and not some rubbish streaming software.

is the headset itself any good?
Yes, it's one of the only affordable high res OLED HDR 120hz headsets on the market, has a wire so the image is uncompressed and has haptics in the headset, and it has eye tracking too for both gameplay features and also foveated rendering.
It does have fresnel lenses with a small sweet spot though and the OLED panels can exhibit smear and mura.
However connecting this to a high end PC will negate two of the biggest issues running PS5 VR games - reprojection and not running at native resolution.

Before the recent update the headset was discoverable by Windows and was shown in Nvidia drivers panel as a 1080p 120hz HDR monitor. You could view the desktop from in the headset on a floating screen and the tracking would correctly track your head movement.
After the update the headset doesn't show up in Windows display manager or Nvidia driver panel at all. I get 10x PSVR2 devices needing attention in device manager and I get a replaying animation inside the headset telling me to remove the headset and look at the monitor.
I have a feeling the drivers are coming quite soon. I used the breakout box from my Varjo Aero to connect the headset to the PC.

did you see : https://www.roadtovr.com/report-sony-psvr-2-pauses-production-low-sales/ ?
ow and PC support end of the year.
i expect thats a move to shift the units they have collecting dust and try and re-cope some lost money.

Unless Sony can make a cheap breakout box it'll be useless to a good percentage of PC owners. They did that dongle thing for psvr1/PS5 compatibility so you never know.

You think people won't pay another £100-150 to get an OLED HDR headset on PC? They pay £1100 for BSB with worse specs @ 90hz and then you need base stations and controllers.

I thought PSVR2 was an excellent headset. I sent mine back only because my PS5 had nowhere near enough grunt to drive it. An OLED HDR capable VR would be great, especially dark horror games. Am thinking with Nvidia’s RTX HDR injector plus UEVR they’ll be plenty to play

I was surprised to find out that they dropped OLED for the quest headsets. I thought we'd be going forward, not back...
Got to keep them affordable. Maybe for the next Pro model?

Oled currently doesn't work well with pancake lenses. It's not bright enough.
Hopefully that will be overcome in a generation or two.

Honestly, affordable is better for me. I don't have a frame of reference with more modern headsets. Just the original Vive.
