Summary

Brad spent a whole bunch of time in the PlayStation VR 2 this past week, and given Will's previous life as the proprietor of a VR-related business, we're pairing hands-on (or maybe face-on) experience with institutional knowledge this week to dissect the ins and outs of the new headset, compare it to the current PC fare, speculate about its potential to become a PC headset itself, muse about the use of SLAM tracking in robot vacuums, and more.
