PSVR2 on PC: Huge Untapped Potential

"A PSN account is required to use this headset."

Eye tracking is SO POWERFUL and I can't wait till it becomes more commonplace in consumer headsets That said as a glasses wearer... Good Lord it's gonna take a lot of time and work to make eye tracking work

i just hope that in the future vr headsets and the like will be cheaper, imagine playing vrchat with the body suit of ready player one or even entering the world like in SAO. It is so interesting to see just how far and how little vr is going in the past 7 years. i mean you would think it would go a bit faster but it's still a thing to be grateful for lol.

The adapter is just a VirtualLink... splitter? combiner? you can plug PSVR2 into one of the few GPUs that has the USB-C on it and it will register. I believe there is a similar VirtualLink adapter for some of the Varjo headsets that already exists, but it's wildly expensive. So whatever the PSVR2 can send, should be visible on the other end whether directly connected or via the adapter. I think eye tracking may be viable unless they lock it out at a firmware level.

I expect the adapter to not expose the relevant data at all; however, there's already a driver project working on providing support for the headset directly with no adapter required, and once that gets off the ground it could probably start adding those features pretty quickly.

woah this is really neat, thanks for keeping us so updated!

Meta really fumbled with not having eye tracking for the Q3

Great video, Tahvo! As soon as this video popped up I had to click on it immediately! I have to agree, like yourself, I liiIIiive for that face tracking in VRchat. It fulfills my geeky dream of becoming a cartoon character. And seeing your eyes and mouth move, like in the Quest 2, is so important to making that little dream a little closer. Thanks again for making this video :)

I knew about the eye tracking, but it has haptics too? Now I really hope the community's effort succeeds, or at least pushes other, new headsets to include this feature. I miiight attempt DIY eye tracking in the future, but even as an electronics tinkerer, the risk you mention (and the fact I'm using a 7 year old headset) leaves me hesitant.

Love the Videos Tahvo Been around for some time now and you helped me out alot with VR Meeting you at Furality was a "Made my Day" Experience Keep up the work I hope we will have you around for some long time <3

This is fascinating and awesome

Seeing these innovations in VR is amazing. It's been awesome to see the progress overr all these years. It's a shame that getting into the really cool stuff is so expensive though. Hopefully we can see a reduction in cost but what we have already is awesome. I can see a future like Ready player one where you can be totally immersed in VR. I can't wait to be able to slip a suit on and be able to feel my surroundings in VR.

I always love your videos :D

When the PSVR2 was announced I was so excited, I thought "Wow this will be AMAZING for PC gaming and VRChat! Native eyetracking, focal rendering, potential addons for facetracking too, wow!" Then I IMMEDIATELY lost ALL interest as soon as I learned it was PS5 exclusive, first thought was "way to immediately kill your peripheral Sony, It'll be even more niche than VRChat as a whole, what a dumb decision to completely alienate yourself from the PC market.." I swear these companies DON'T want our money sometimes, it's wild.

Appreciate you! Eye tracking would be big if they add it. Until then I'm still watching Inseye and crossing fingers it'll be faster than Slime has been

Gosh, another great and informative video! Such a good boy ^^

well I did buy the PSVR2 for PSVR2 games but if it has eye tracking then I'll definately use on PC as well, would love eye tracking on Quest 2 or 3, still have to buy the 3 at some point

This I great new been looking to use mine even more ^^

Can you make a video talking about different types of diy eye tracking and what they are capable to do now?

Nice! Scared about PSN account login- The anti-bot stuff is so hard I struggle to login.
