PS VR2 will have a perspective function, but this perspective is not another perspective. This function can clearly see the surrounding environment through the embedded front-facing camera of PS VR2, and you can see where you are in the room without taking off the headset . Press the function button on the headset or use the tabs in the Control Center to switch between viewing your surroundings or content on the PS VR2. But this camera only has a viewing function, not video recording.
