With the word "PlayStation" right there in the name, you'd think Sony's new PlayStation VR headset would only work with the PlayStation 4. Surprisingly enough, though, the headset seems to work in a limited "cinema mode" when plugged into any valid HDMI input.
After seeing reports of the headset's extra-Sony compatibility leak via Reddit, we put our own PlayStation VR headset to the test this afternoon. The headset easily displayed games running on the Wii U and Xbox One and even showed a Windows desktop when plugged into a PC tower. We can only assume other HDMI sources (cable boxes, mobile phones with output adapters, Ouya, etc.) would work just as well.
Just tried to use the Sony PlayStation vr headset plugged into the CrystalSky, unfortunately the vr unit doesn't have its own power source so takes its power from the PlayStation via the second connector. Just connected to crystalsky it will not power up. I didn't bother seeing whether it would work with the second connector plugged into the PlayStation as that would have no portability. Shame because it would have been a cost saver if you already have the units.
Has anyone tried hdmi media goggles?
