PS VR 2 Looking to buy [Questions] (lemmy.world)

Hello all - so I have been looking at the VR headset and have a couple questions.

First one is my main concern. I wear glasses, mainly for distance vision. However, here recently I have found I had to get my prescription tweaked to include bifocals for reading (aging sucks). That being said - can you wear glasses with the VR unit and does it matter if you are nearsighted/farsighted or how does that work?

Second question - I know there are games made primarily for VR but will any game work with it? Obviously I cannot imagine playing something like Diablo but am thinking maybe Doom or Genshin Impact?

  1. Yes, you can wear your glasses. You can also provide your prescription to third party companies to make you lense inserts if you're willing to spend extra money. Some are held with magnets and easily removable, others are a little more annoying to get in and out. But they're great and totally worth it if you're getting into VR.

  2. Yes. Any game will play using the headset. But it will just look like you have a big TV in front of you. They will still be "flat" games, but you can play them with the headset on. But you won't be "in" the game, if that's what you're thinking. Like of you're playing a first person game, you won't be in it.

Thanks - this is what I was wondering. I had never used a VR headset and didn’t know how it would work with existing games (or if it would work at all).

I don't have a psvr 2 but I do have a psvr 1 and wear glasses. I was able to find these soft, clear plastic bumpers I could put on my glasses (around the hinges) to prevent my glasses from scratching the VR lenses
