Sony says PSVR is for anyone over 12 years old and to sit down while using it

A PSVR guide popped up on PlayStation Asia (via GameSpot) that aimed to let any PSVR users in on how Sony hopes you'll use the device. Apperently, Sony doesn't want kids or anyone to trip and die while using their headset… which is somewhat understandable (just not realistic).

"We suggest users sit while using VR headsets," reads the guide. Unfortunately for Sony, some of the games involve standing (like The Deep) and others involve sitting – so it's not like this rule will be followed all the time and if it's not followed, we won't get videos like this:

The guide also goes on to say that "Kids under 12 are not allowed to use VR headsets" and that around 60-square-feet of space is required.  In addition to Sony's suggestions it was also detailed that people other that the VR wearing person can get in on the action.

As per the guide:

  • Through “Social Screen”, users can play with family members and friends.
  • “Social Screen” features “Mirroring mode” and “Separate mode”. “Mirroring mode” allows TV to output the same image as the VR headset. “Separate mode” allows the player with VR headset to enjoy co-op/versus gameplay with players watching at the TV.

Using a VR headset won't be a solo experience, which isn't too bad.
