PSVR requires 2x3 metres of space to use. Polygon requires 2x3 beers to comprehend.

im currently trying to use PSVR in my (cleared out) 10 x 6 m room and i can't get the motion traking to work
obviously im doing something wrong here in my ps4 settings or wathever it is, but I've definitely cleared out (more than) 60-square-feet of space.

Is that Crecente sitting in that chair? Does this guy have a gaf account? He needs to see this thread. Quick someone tweet it at him.
It's staggering people didn't realise this initially. The camera tracks the lights on the PSVR and controllers, so I have NO clue why people thought there would be any requirement to have a ton of space available behind or around you. Just be a few feet (metre or so) away from the camera and it can track you, end of discussion. To me this is either wilful ignorance form Polygon, trying to stir up some controversy, or they're just fucking retarded.

It's a combination of all of these. It's Polygon.

Title really should be "PSVR manual suggests 2x3 meters of space; Polygon reports; GAF Outraged"
VG24/7 also says 61 square-feet, what the hell.

Why would they?, it's polygon. I'm still amazed they aren't a banned site at this point with the shit they've spewed in the past. Hell the Mario kart graphs alone should have discredited them.

If it helps, I tried it yesterday and the rep said 10x10 meters with Move and nothing when sitting down.

If you calculate the measurements correct it's 61.35 ft² or 5.70 m² or do you mean their article incorrectly claiming the need for that space?
Crecente moonlighting as a PS VR rep and saying 10x10 meters now.

Same thing for me. But most importantly, the cables need to go before I'm jumping in on console/computer VR. I've tried Galaxy VR though and it worked perfectly, and it's cheaper too, so I could see myself investing in that if some cool games comes out.Chû Totoro;211885902 said:
Oh so the Play Area is not what it NEEDS, but the "recommended" area to play in.
Trying to cover all VR scenarios with a single diagram was unwise. Now the FUD begins.
Seated DS4 games require no more space than any other game.
London Heist van shootout might require you to sit back 2m to stay in the fov when you extend your arm to the sides.
Job Simulator might require the full space in the diagram.
edit: Also, if you mount the camera higher behind your TV, (assuming calibration will allow it), that would expand the camera fov and allow you to shift your play area forward.

I got my room sorted guys...
Yes, at its core the statement is basically stating the *Play Area*, which is what the camera can receive/detect as required information for an optimal VR experience... you have 61.35 ft² for your enjoyment wherever you choose to sit/stand within FOV of the camera.
It's also a safety thing that Sony have to cover their asses with... an area they "recommend" you clear of nearby obstacles if you're playing a game where you're doing a lot of active movement while standing in, things you could hurt yourself on etc. Company Health & Safety policy 101. This is more a common sense thing though, if you're gonna be using the headset standing you'd clear a little space around you, sitting shouldn't be an issue.
There's confusion over this thanks to the article, but when you have demo kiosks and demos at gaming expos that are far smaller in size in use than the area stated and made out to be required, the article doesn't make any sense at all.
