PlayStation VR' curved, stylish black visor is worn over your eyes. The black visor features a 1080p HD OLED display with 960 x 1080 resolution for each eye. It's edges consist of LED lights that emit a glowing blue light when the device is in use. A white, headband-like apparatus extrudes from top of the visor. The headband-like apparatus is worn over your head to securely and comfortably attach the visor over your eyes. Additional black strap is worn around your head to further adhere the visor to your face. Because of the sensor placed at the back of your head, you can make 180 degree turns and allow PSVR to accurately detect your line of sight.
PlayStation VR connects to a PlayStation 4 for information processing and streaming. A small, black box called [[PSVR External Processing Unit|External Processing Unit]] (EPU) also called Breakout Box is required to be connected to the PS4. EPU distorts the image generated by the PS4 to counteract the lens distortion before sending the image to the HMD. It also provides an optional non-distorted output to an additional monitor, so you can attach a monitor to the EPU to display PSVR's user's view in the undistorted form.
PlayStation VR integrates with various other products in the PlayStation universe such as PlayStation Camera, PS Move and PS4 Controller. PSVR integrates with the PlayStation Camera to accurately track the user's head movements and positions. With help of the 9 [[LED]]s on the HMD, the PS Camera tracks the user up to 1000 times per second. The camera allows more precise tracking when combined with in-helmet sensors.
