These can be accessed using the function button on the headset to switch between viewing your surroundings and the content through the headset.

The PS VR 2 will also allow you to broadcast yourself while you’re playing by connecting a PS5 HD camera to the console.

The PS VR2 will also allow you to use your space wisely and safely. The onboard cameras can scan the room and map the playing zone to fit your environment.
