Sony experimented with VR in the last century, releasing the "progenitor" headset Glasstron in 1996, but due to the technical limitations of the time, Glasstron was not a commercial success. However, Sony has not given up on the exploration of the VR field, in 2016 Sony launched the PlayStaion VR (PS VR), the market response is enthusiastic, and now PS VR sales have exceeded 3 million units, is currently the highest-selling VR device.
 
PS VR is often referred to as the three major console VR along with HTC VIVE and Oculus Rift, but unlike the latter two, PS VR is connected to a PS4 home console instead of a computer, and the image analysis and computing effect are slightly inferior. In terms of hardware configuration, PS VR is also not dominant, and the resolution of the built-in screen is the lowest among the three major console VR, and it does not even reach the 2K standard. At the same time, PS VR uses the camera to locate the colored light emitted by the glasses and the grip, and although it achieves a 6DoF effect, it is very susceptible to interference from ambient light, and the camera's small angle of view allows users to only move within a very limited range.
 
However, the disadvantage in function did not prevent the big sales of PS VR, which is not unrelated to Sony's pricing strategy, the current PS VR package price is 2799 yuan, even if you buy another PS4 console, the price is only the same as the HTC VIVE package. The excellent industrial design also further bridges the gap between PS VR and the other two console VR, and in Wirecutter's review, PS VR is called the most comfortable device to wear among the three console VR devices.
 
For console players, high-quality game resources are the biggest selling point of PS VR, and the VR versions of many masterpieces such as "The Elder Scrolls 5" and "Resident Evil 7" have also landed on the PlayStaion platform. In addition, due to the large number of PS4 players, many developers will choose to release new VR games on the PlayStaion platform, and if you want to get started with new games first, PS VR is also a good choice.
