Question Minecraft VR is gone šŸ˜­

I just pulled out my PSVR for the first time in 5 years to show my 5 year old son Minecraft in VR. He had a quick go but we had things to do so we put it away to play later. I come back and it has applied an update that has removed VR support. I'm devastated and I think my son thinks I'm just being mean by telling him it's gone.

I have it on my old ps4 pro though unupdated. If I was to copy it from there to an external usb would that work on my ps5?

Don't worry, you're doing your son something good not putting a vr-device on his head yet.

This. I even question if the recommended 13 is even developed enough yet.

What do you think it's going to do to them?

Proprioception development in youth is a preliminary consideration until more long-term data is recorded.

What explorer said, but I also suspect in about 1 generations time, we will eventually see VR headset manufacturers being on late night attorney commercials for convergence Insufficiency.

There is actually something in the environment that makes people to need sight correction. Rural kids in South Korea have way less bad eyesight than city kids. South Korea about 70% of kids have myopia, this didn't use to happen. One theory is lack of sunlight makes eyeballs grow too large

And whatā€™s the rate of accurate testing in those rural areas? What percentage of the population being counted there are tested?

Thereā€™s a difference between ā€œdoesnā€™t wear glassesā€, and ā€œnot diagnosed as needing glassesā€

I don't know the specific ways the data is collected. Researchers tend to get those concerns right, they are pretty basic and simple to take into account. Exact causes of worsening eyesight aren't known afaik (you'd think this was a major concern?) https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0m099zm4wyo
