Thanks guys. Remember that time I said I was impulsive? Well I'm hooking up my PSVR right now. I almost ended up getting the Skyrim bundle, but for now I just got the standalone VR kit along with the PS Camera and RE7 and GTS. Had no idea it came with a demo so that's cool.

Literally sitting with everything on my floor right now, so this may take awhile to set up. So many cords.

EDIT: Initial impressions are pretty good, but it's a bit difficult to get the perfect position for a crisp image.  I haven't gotten to try any real content yet, however, and I'm not playing in a comfortable position yet (still have a lot of things laid out on the floor. I loaded the demo for a few minutes to try an ocean tour. My four year old loved it (even though it says you must be 12 years or older). Does the camera only track the position of the lights on the headset? It seems like if I turn all the way around it loses me, but I'm not sure if my daughter being in the viewing area caused it.

Once I get her off to bed later tonight, I'm going to turn off the lights, plug in my good headset (I'm hoping any brand headset works), put on a clean pair of underpants (or do I even bother) and play RE7.

Updates, updates, updates...

EDIT 2: One more thing. There are Triangle, Circle, Square, and X marks on the underside of the headset. Are those actual buttons or just a design?

Great..congratulations. Be sure to download the two demo disks on the PSN store. Lots of great stuff to try out.

For the correct tracking some things are essential. Distance to the camera, calibration of the camera and headset in the PS4 settings, your lighting environment...make sure no lights or reflecting surfaces can be seen by camera. This can greatly impact your tracking. If everything is set up correctly the tracking should be fine even if you turn your head. Of course nothing should be blocking the camera’s view directly.

Also make sure to calibrate your correct eye distance. This can make a world of a difference in 3D perception and comfort!

The position of the headset is crucial for a sharp image. I made the experience that lowering the band down to just above my ears gives the clearest image...everyone is different, so experiment a bit.

I really wouldn’t let your kid try it as its eyes are still developing. At least not longer than very short bursts...I know it’s hard but the headset isn’t made for small heads and the correct eye distance is crucial.

You can easily use the Sony ear plugs coming with the headset. They are great!

Those marks are just a design feature, I assume. I have the first gen and it doesn’t have those though. The only buttons yours should have are on the top of the headset.

Enjoy and make sure to try out the Moss and The Persistence demos. Just try out all of them ;)
