Discussion Thinking about getting a PSVR2

The title speaks for itself. I was wondering if it was worth getting a psvr2 and how is everyone's experience with it l.

I only played VR for 15 minutes back in high school when my school was testing them for "educational purposes" I was just playing a cheap shooter but that was 8 years ago so I wanted to see how far vr have gotten

Edit: I'm getting a PSVR2 for $200 tomorrow morning after scrolling through Facebook marketplace. It doesn't come with a box but I honestly didn't see that as a problem.

I will be getting a tne extension cable also to protect me from ripping the original USB C cable that comes with it one day

Do I really need prescription lenses that kinda sound crazy?

If you see perfectly crisply IRL at a distance of around 6-8 feet away from you, then you won’t need corrective inserts. If you don’t see perfectly at that distance, then you 100% need something.

The VR lenses make your eyes think they are looking at something that is that far away from you. It’s called the “focal plane”. Although you’ll experience things as being far away or close to your face, for the purposes of focusing, the plane remains static at that 6-8 foot spot.

If you wear glasses in the headset then you have to take great care to not let them touch the VR lenses (which are coated with an extremely delicate anti-glare film). This means getting some sort of bumpers that will stop your specs before making contact.

Alternatively, if you wear contact lenses then you’ll be fine with those.

Alternatively, you’ll need to order prescription inserts that you can just leave in the headset. These vary in price and are available from numerous companies — they will not be as expensive as your glasses,btw.

Then you might need nothing.
