I’m sure by now you’ve heard of people with the PlayStation VR not being able to use the controller as a virtual reality device in “Project Morpheus” mode. The issue is that the PSVR’s screen-mirroring is not set up to work with the PSVR’s camera, which is how it works with the HTC Vive. After some trial and error, I figured out a solution to fixing the issue, which is described below.
The latest edition of virtual reality (VR) headset PlayStation VR has a few glaring issues. The most notable one is the inability to use the controller while the screen is mirrored. The issue crops up when you’re using your PS4’s controller to play a game and have the screen mirrored for the VR game (you can’t see what you’re doing to the controller, and the game responds to the controller).
With Sony’s recent release of Playstation VR, a new device that allows you to play virtual reality games and experiences from your PlayStation 4, there were reports that the device was displaying issues with the screen-mirroring feature, which when activated, would cause the image of what was being played on the headset to show up on the PS4’s screen.
Some users have complained that they can only see an image on the PlayStation VR head-mounted display (HMD) and not on the television. While this isn’t a game-breaker, it does indicate that either your hardware or software is malfunctioning. If you’re having trouble with screen-mirroring, try the following solutions.
Examine your HDCP options.
High-bandwidth Digital Material Protection (HDCP) is a technology that prevents content from being copied while it is being transmitted over a network. Some PSVR titles are impacted by having HDCP enabled for whatever reason. Here’s how to turn it off.
- Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
- Go to System and choose it.
- Enable HDCP by clicking the Enable HDCP button.
- Yes should be selected. The tick in the box should go, and HDCP should be deactivated.
Examine your HDMI wires.
Many PlayStation VR customers have complained about the unit’s HDMI cords being defective or of low quality. If you’re experiencing problems with screen mirroring, disconnect each HDMI cable one by one and replace it with one that wasn’t included with your PSVR. You’ll know it was an HDMI cable if an image appears on your TV.
Other people say that the issue is related to the PlayStation 4’s HDMI connector. If you’ve tried swapping HDMI connections and still don’t have an image, try jiggling the HDMI cable that links to your PS4’s back. If you see flickering pictures on your TV, it’s likely that your PS4’s hardware is to blame.
Take out the extension cord.
Remove the extension cable between the PSVR’s external processing unit and the HMD to rule out the possibility of a damaged cable.
See if you can obtain an image on your TV by plugging the HMD straight into the processing unit. If you do, you know the issue is with the extension cable. It’s time to make an order for a new one!
Speak with Sony.
If you’ve done all of the above and still can’t obtain a picture on your TV, the issue is most likely with the PSVR’s image processing unit or the PS4. In this situation, the best course of action is to contact Sony customer service.
They’ll run some more tests on you and, if your PSVR is found to be defective, they’ll take measures to fix it.
Contact Sony’s customer service.
With the advent of virtual reality technology, it was only a matter of time before you had to worry about your phone screen acting as a mirror in your virtual world. The biggest issue with this is that it decreases the immersion and sense of presence in the virtual environment while you are playing. There are a few things you can try to fix this. First, you need to make sure that your phone’s screen is set to the correct resolution for your virtual reality headset. If your hand is shaking or you feel dizzy or disoriented, your phone’s screen might not be set to the correct resolution. Look for the option in your phone’s display settings to make sure the screen is set to the right resolution. If your phone is constantly shaking, you.
