High Fidelity Visuals

Headset-based Controller Tracking
PS VR2 tracks you and your controller through cameras that are integrated in the VR headset. Your movement and orientation / direction you look in are reflected in-game without having to use an external camera.
New Sensory Features
Combining eye-tracking, headset feedback, 3D Audio and the new PS VR2 Sense controller allows it to create a very deep feeling of immersion that hasn’t been achieved anywhere else. The headset feedback is a new sensory feature that amplifies the sensations of in-game actions from the player. For example, players can feel a character’s elevated pulse during tense moments or the rush of objects flying past at high speed. Additionally, PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech makes sounds in the player’s surroundings come alive, adding to this never before seen level of immersion.
Eye Tracking
PS VR2 detects the motion of your eyes – so a simple look in a particular direction can create additional input for the characters you control. This will allow you to interact more intuitively in new and lifelike ways.
All these advancements, along with the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers from the PS VR2 Sense controller enable players to feel and interact with games in a more visceral way.
