PlayStation®VR
Virtual Reality system
2016 will be remembered as the inaugural year for Virtual Reality. At the vanguard of VR, the PlayStation®VR’s design sets it apart as a new entertainment icon. The PS VR combines simplicity and function into a fun, safe, and user-friendly package. The headset is defined by its most distinctive elements: a single straight band from the forehead to the back of the head, and stylish curves with embedded tracking lights. These elements convey a sense of lightness and fun in an appealingly simple, iconic silhouette. The PS VR can be easily worn over glasses, and its comfortable design allows for immersive gaming that will not disappoint.

This product brings VR to the masses.
