Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
PSVR requires 2x3 metres of space to use. Polygon requires 2x3 beers to comprehend.

Besides how hard it will be to get the visor on my dog
this is Neogaf.
Jesus could rise from the dead and give everyone on earth a billion dollars and people would probably complain about what he was wearing.

That is the stupidest thing I've read in a long while and it's frankly completely moronic.
It gets to me this place sometimes. It really does.

Pretty funny isn't it. That thread about the anime characters sure had a quick title change tho
Some of these reactions.
Stretch your arms out. That's the width (average human arm span is just under 2 meters). If you're using Move, I sure hope you can move your arms around without hitting something.
Now stretch one arm out in front of you. That's the minimum distance.
Basically swing your arms around. If you don't hit anything, you're good.

What the f--- is this shit?! The demo areas at PS experience weren't that big! Now I'm seriously considering cancelling my preorder worried about other people being misinformed and cancelling their preorders, not that that'll hurt Sony in any way.

You don't "need" all of that empty space around you in order for PSVR to work properly. Think, people.
I find it hilarious that you believe that 2x3M is required for seated play.

"The height of the play area will be dependent on how high up the camera is set, according to the official PlayStation Asia site"
Breaking news.
Breaking news.
Also if you are sitting (or even standing) you only need that space above waist height - so you could swing your arms over your sofa for instance.

Looks like I overreacted a little earlier, cheers to those who're clearing this misinformation up. I think there's an inherent anxiety that we're going to buy this expensive, exciting new thing and it won't work properly for one reason or another. No-one likes that feeling, glad to see that's not the case.

I'm worried about the area behind the player. My console setup is in a small den. I sit about 4 feet from my TV.
Safety and cover their arses. You won't
Technically need that amount of space.

You'll be fine. All the image is showing is that the person in the chair could move backwards or forwards and it would still work. It doesn't mean there needs to be that space behind/in front of them.

Actually some games like The Heist need some limited space
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGLs9hqogRE
Als 2m wide is good enough to have a couch for 2 or 3 players and the VR user not needing to be centered to the camera.
Wow, so someone words something poorly and people, failing to look and analyse for more than one second, and ignoring how PSVR has worked in much smaller demo areas before, go absolutely apeshit and cancel preorders.
FUCK ME.
EDIT: Trust Polygon... in fact I thought Polygon were banned from being linked on NeoGAF? A very VERY misleading headline and article all round. Really think Microsoft have some backhanders going on around that site, lol.

Of course, some heavily active games like Headmaster and this The Heist demo will demand space, but that's just common sense. A game like Battlezone, for example, where you're sitting stationary in a tank, won't need much room.
Goes without saying. As long as Sony's clear about which games require lots of movement, it's not really a big deal.

Ok this is pretty funny. I can just imagine you reading the OP, dropping everything and immediately sending URGENT MESSAGES to all your peeps (who apparently live in closets). The sky is falling!
Ive used PSVR in much smaller areas. Not recommended but definitely do able. You just need enough room away from the camera for its FOV to pick you up is all that is really required. Ive played a good deal like 3-4 feet from the camera.
Job simulator was the only game that had issues in a small place, because it asks you to reach things in front of you and down low and to the side, so if you are too close to the camera, then the camera wont pick up those actions. Battlezone, The Heist, Until Dawn, Rigs etc, were all just fine however.

Good point.
Like others have mention, this is a $400 to $500 purchase for JUST the base equipment. I'd hate to have a bad playing experience after spending that much. I just want to sit in my couch, dual shock 4 in hand, and feel like I'm the Last Starfighter.

I think you might have just figured out why no one in your life takes you seriously. You might want to just a small ounce of your own research before running around telling people what to do because you read a post on the internet.
4+5=....9...
Basically sit on your seat move your arms around if you don't smash your house up your set. This isn't Kinect in that it requires the room technically as long as your not hitting things your set.
you should be fine for most games, but a game like Job simulator, where you need to move the Move controllers all around and down low and to the side, might be an issue.
It also needs to see the lights on the Move controllers, hence some games might have an issue being that close, generally the controllers are lower than the headset. And generally would need to be moved greater distances than the HMD. Going off the side profile pic in the post above. There is a triangular gap in the bottom front. That gap more or less ends at 3 meters. RdN says he plays within 2 meters. If the controllers enter that gap they wont be detected. Though the camera could go below the TV, but then that might lead to the Headset going out of the FOV.
I wouldn't complain.
I'd also settle for $1 million.
Just saying.
Also love the "new" Polygon chart.
