PlayStation VR2
And
PlayStation VR2 Sense-controller
, Sony is thus promising to “take VR gaming to a whole new level,” as does the company.
in a blog post on Wednesday.
In addition, the headset and controller are equipped with the latest technology, which allows players to immerse themselves more deeply in the game world than before.
PSVR2 with 4K HDR and great improvements
The most significant new features over its predecessor include support for 4K HDR and an expanded 110-degree field of view. The headset also features two OLED displays, each with a resolution of 2000 x 2040 pixels per eye. The new system also no longer requires an external camera: cameras are integrated into the headset, through which the position and direction of the player and the position of the PSVR2 Sense controller can be tracked.
The headset also has motors that generate vibrations that make the gaming experience more intense. For example, the player should be able to feel his character’s increased pulse or the thrust of the vehicle when he is moving. “PS VR2 Sense technology combines eye tracking, headset feedback, 3D audio and the innovative PS VR 2 Sense controller to deliver a deeply immersive experience to gamers,” Sony said.
Integrated eye tracking and other special features
Also interesting is that the PS VR2 has integrated Eye Tracking, which tracks the player’s eye movements, which can also be used to improve the gaming experience. To do this, Sony uses a technology in which the graphic resolution is boosted exactly where the gamer is looking.
In addition, the PS VR2 Sense Controller is a new control device with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Sony already had the controller and its look
Introduced in March 2021.
What the Playstation VR2 headset will actually look like and what the new VR Fun will cost is yet to be revealed by Sony. But this: The new VR headset isn’t wireless, but at least it can be connected directly to the Playstation 5 game console with a cable.
