PlayStation VR2 Headset revealed

Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed the design for their PlayStation VR2 headset and the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller.

This successor to the PlayStation VR headset was first announced back on January 4, 2022. You can read more about it and the headset’s specifications here.

In terms of design, both the PS VR2 headset and the PS VR2 Sense controller share a similar orb-like design. The philosophy behind this design is it’s a representation of the 360-degree view that players experience upon entering the world of virtual reality.

Check it out below:

According to the headset’s designer Yujin Morisawa:

“When I started to work on the design for the PlayStation VR2 headset, one of the areas I wanted to focus on first was the idea of creating a vent in the headset to let air out, similar to the vents on the PS5 console that allows airflow. Our engineers came up with this idea as a good way to allow ventilation and avoid having the lens fog up while players are immersed in their VR games. I worked on many design concepts to achieve this, and in the final design, you can see there is a little space in between the top and front surface of the scope that contains the integrated ventilation. I am really proud of how this turned out and the positive feedback I have gotten so far. I hope our PlayStation fans will also agree, and I can’t wait for them to try it out.”
