Virtual reality gaming is an expensive hobby for PC owners, with the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive boasting impressive specifications and high prices.<\/p>\n
PlayStation owners can purchase the cheaper PlayStation VR headset to enjoy a comparable VR gaming experience, albeit at a lower resolution.<\/p>\n
However, because the PlayStation VR uses HDMI and USB cables to connect to the PlayStation 4, it was only a matter of time before gamers managed to get it working on PC.<\/p>\n
Trinus VR<\/a><\/strong> is software which allows you to stream PC games to your smartphone, letting you use it as a wearable VR headset.<\/p>\n The team behind this software has released Trinus PSVR<\/strong><\/a>, which lets you connect your PSVR headset to your PC and play SteamVR games.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll need the following to get PSVR working on your PC:<\/p>\n The free trial of Trinus PSVR is useful for determining if your system is capable of running VR, but you will need a licence to use the software\u00a0to play games.<\/p>\n The hardware setup for using your PSVR on your PC is similar to using the device on your PS4.<\/p>\n The PSVR is powered separately and connects to the PC using a USB 3.0 port and the PS4 HDMI cable.<\/p>\n A second HDMI cable can be used to play the PSVR video feed concurrently on a TV or monitor.<\/p>\n Trinus PSVR has two modes \u2013 Mouse Mode and SteamVR Mode.<\/p>\n Mouse mode allows you to play PC games using your PSVR headset, if the game supports side-by-side (SBS) rendering.<\/p>\n If the game does not support SBS, it can be forced on \u2013 but there will be no 3D depth effect.<\/p>\n SteamVR mode is the preferred option for serious VR gaming and allows you to experience SteamVR games using the PSVR headset.<\/p>\n To set up SteamVR for Trinus:<\/p>\n There are a number of SteamVR games which you can play with a standard controller, but many of the titles require movement controllers and head tracking.<\/p>\n Trinus PSVR is still in beta and users should expect to encounter issues and the need for troubleshooting along the way.<\/p>\n This is especially true when attempting to integrate motion controllers and head tracking with PSVR.<\/p>\n It is possible to use PlayStation Move controllers with the PSVR on your PC by using PSMoveService<\/a><\/strong> along with a PlayStation Camera. Alternatively, gamers can use third-party motion controllers.<\/p>\n The software does have a rudimentary head tracking system using a webcam and the lights on the PSVR, and this feature should be improved with further development of the software.<\/p>\n This article first appeared on MyBroadband<\/strong> <\/a>and is republished with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n Because the PlayStation VR uses HDMI and USB cables to connect to the PlayStation 4, it was only a matter of time before gamers managed to get it working on PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":226,"featured_media":87162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8585,3],"tags":[15397,15880],"class_list":["post-115147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gadgets","category-pc","tag-pc","tag-playstation-vr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/226"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115147"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":115149,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115147\/revisions\/115149"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What you need<\/h3>\n
