Get ready for a head-to-head battle between two of the most impressive virtual reality headsets on the market - the PSVR2 and HTC Vive Pro! These two heavyweights offer a variety of features and specifications that make them stand out from the rest.

We're going to dive deep into the nitty-gritty details and compare them side-by-side to determine which one comes out on top!

 

Display:

The PSVR2 features an OLED display with a panel resolution of 2000 x 2040 per eye and a refresh rate of 90Hz or 120Hz. The Vive Pro also uses an OLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 1600 per eye and a refresh rate of 90Hz. In terms of resolution and refresh rate, the PSVR2 has a slight edge over the Vive Pro.

Lens and Field of View:

The PSVR2 has adjustable lens separation and offers an approximately 110-degree field of view. Meanwhile, the Vive Pro features Fresnel lenses and a field of view of 110 degrees. While the Vive Pro has slightly smaller lenses, they are Fresnel lenses which can offer clearer visuals.

Sensors and Tracking:

Both headsets have their own unique set of sensors. The PSVR2 uses a six-axis motion sensing system with a gyroscope, accelerometer, and IR proximity sensor, as well as four embedded cameras for headset and controller tracking and an IR camera for eye tracking per eye.

The Vive Pro uses a G-sensor, gyroscope, proximity, and IPD sensor, as well as base stations for room-scale tracking. Overall, the PSVR2 has more advanced sensor technology, including eye tracking, which can enhance the user experience.

Audio and Communication:

Both VR headsets feature built-in audio, with the PSVR2 offering stereo headphone jack output and a built-in microphone input. The Vive Pro also has built-in audio and microphone input. However, the PSVR2 uses USB Type-C for communication with the PS5, while the Vive Pro uses USB-C 3.0, DP 1.2, and Bluetooth for connections.

Compatibility and Weight:

The headsets are both compatible with glasses, but the PSVR2 weighs less at 110g compared to the Vive Pro's 555g. The PSVR2 is made of plastic and foam, while the Vive Pro is made of plastic. The PSVR2 comes in a black and blue colour scheme, while the Vive Pro is available in black and blue or just black.

 

In conclusion, while both headsets have their own strengths and weaknesses, the PSVR2 has a slight edge in terms of display resolution and refresh rate, more advanced sensor technology including eye tracking, and lighter weight.

However, the Vive Pro has its own strengths including its Fresnel lenses and room-scale tracking with base stations. Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on the individual user's preferences and needs.
