Sony is trying something new with a PSVR app called Theater Room VR that will allow fans to watch movies and anime in a virtual reality space. A beta test starts for PS Plus subscribers in Japan on December 13.
Theater Room VR is a PSVR app that puts you in a virtual reality space with a big screen theater used to enjoy video content such as movies, anime, and more. Sony aims to make it into a new service they offer and are going to host two beta test sessions for the app.
The above is a look at the virtual reality space inside Theater Room VR. It won’t let you walk around but you can observe your surroundings from the seat. It uses the DualShock 4 controller to navigate and you can use the touch pad to change the screen size and other settings.
