To GOD be all the glory!!!

PSVR is an attachment for the Ps4 that allows players to play their games in virtual reality, the PSVR was released on 13th October 2016.

The PSVR set includes the VR headset, the motion sensor attachment for the Ps4 and two controllers that look like they have ping pong balls attached to their tops.

When the PSVR was first released in October, it didn't bring as much sales as I expected, according to the charts, since its release on 13th October 2016, only 4.2 million units have been sold as recorded on 28th March 2019.

A PSVR bundle consisiting of the Headset, Camera and a game usually costs about $300 but the individual headset will cost less than its bundle.

This means that the comparing Ps4 units sold to the PSVR units sold is completely pointless as the Ps4 units sold are about 25 times the number of PSVR units sold.

Apart from that, the PSVR is still pretty neat and has a resolution of 1920 X 1080, the graphics are very good but not as good as that of the Ps4 pro, Xbox One S or any of the more current consoles.

The PSVR has a  lot of games to choose from and some of them are the Spider-Man Homecoming game, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Blood and Truth and Playstation VR worlds.

Some of the games on PSVR are just simulations and there are some games that require actual movements.

The Virtual reality concept began with The Sensorama which was devised by Morton Heilig in 1957 and was basically an interactive theatre experience.

Other than the PSVR there are a lot of other virtual reality systems which are more compatible with other devices.

The PSVR is only compatible with the Ps4 and upwards while some other virtual reality technology such as the Google Daydream, Oculus and the HTC Vive are either more compatible with other devices or are more powerful.

For example the Google Daydream can be used with most phones with virtual reality applications or phones that have software with virtual reality features and tendencies.

The Oculus and the HTC Vive are more powerful virtual reality hardware that implement better controls and even better graphics, they indeed take virtual reality to the next level.

The Oculus could even make use of a multi-directional tread mill when playing virtual reality games on it.

There are also some virtual reality goggles for drones, which basically let the user see what the drone camera sees allowing for easier drone flying.

New PSVR titles are being released almost everyday and most of them are very good to play.
