Sony PlayStation VR2's new features

See-Through View

One of the most innovative features coming to the Sony PlayStation VR2 is the See-Through View. As mentioned by the company in its blog post, users will be able to see their surroundings while wearing the headset. The feature could come in handy, especially if users want to check their surroundings without taking the headset off. It is a result of embedded front cameras on the Sony PS VR2. Users can press the function button on the headset to toggle the See-Through View on or off.

Further, users can customise their play area with the help of the PS VR2 controllers and embedded cameras. To enable this feature, the cameras scan the room and the PS VR2 Sense controllers allow users to expand and set the play area. Once the play area is set up, users will get a warning if they cross the area boundary while playing a game.
