Sony confines you to a 6-foot by 10-foot space
That wouldn't be so terrible if the S

Sony has managed to make its lower-priced PlayStation VR headset competitive where it counts. Despite its relatively low resolution it looks very good in games, and the headset is comfortable to wear and easy to use after you've dealt with its many wires...
Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) is a massive buzzword this year. Which in itself is pretty impressive given that even though there are three major VR headsets in the market at the moment - (the Oculus Rift), the HTC Vive, and the PlayStation VR - none of them have a...
Abstract: Sony unveiled a prototype headset this week capable of surrounding a wearer's vision with interactive virtual worlds. The system, codenamed Project Morpheus, utilizes a 1080p head-mounted display with head-tracking capabilities and works in concert with t...
Although nothing spectacular, but it presents a choice that's got capable performance and a large battery. Since the price of premium smartphones is on the rise, this is an option worth considering for those with leaner pockets.(previously published in i...

The most affordable VR experience available, Performs well, Comfortable for use over extended periods of time, Impressive design
Price can be considered expensive, Performance on the standard PS4 fluctuates, Motion tracking is rather hit and miss,
As far as virtual reality experiences go, the PlayStation VR manages to do what it needs to do well. While the whole experience is far from perfect, the PSVR is a very good introduction to virtual reality that doesn't require you to take out a loan from t...

Abstract: PlayStation VR, the virtual reality headset that will work with any PS4, comes out on October 13. Starting at $399, it's by far the most affordable device on the spectrum of high-end VR.Alas, it seems like it might not be 100% ready for primetime just yet...
Very comfortable, Much more affordable than its rivals, Incredibly smooth, fluid and immersive VR, Some of the early content is amazing
Some inconsistencies to head and controller tracking, Relatively small play area, A lot of the initial games are very short ‘experiences', Some odd design decisions
Without these niggles it would still be hard to give the PlayStation VR five stars, but then, we're yet to give any virtual reality headset a five-star rating. It's just too early and there are too few truly killer, long-lasting games for us to not have s...

The PSVR Aim Controller is currently compatible only with the sci-fi shooter Farpoint, but if its excellent integration with that game is any indication, the controller is going to be a must-have for VR shooter fans on PlayStation. It provides a much-need...
