PlayStation VR: 9 New Details You Need To Know About

3. It Doesn't Completely Take Up Your Vision

Thankfully, although Microsoft's initially-phenomenal Hololens headset actually boils down to a much smaller 'viewing window' where the magic happens in the middle of where you're looking, the PS VR will engulf the vast majority of it. However, don't think - as it's often tempting to - that slipping on the PS VR is like booting into an entirely different world where your peripheral vision is also taken care of, because that's where the black, rubbery outline of the headset remains. Other VR headsets may seek to provide wraparound screens in the future, but for now, Sony are focussing on providing footage right in front of you, rather than to all sides. Thankfully, those who have tried it say it feels relatively natural to turn your head towards something you're focussing on anyway, and like getting lost in a good movie or game and letting the world fall away around you, it shouldn't be a problem.
