Sony dived into 2022 by revealing some further information about the PSVR 2. The PSVR 2 is Sony’s second step in VR, and they are aiming to pack up what they learned during the first attempt and apply it in the following project. One good news before all that there will only be just one wire to connect it to PS5. Yes, just one. You heard it right.
Below are some of the features of the PSVR 2:
- Visual Fidelity: For a high-fidelity visual experience, PS VR2 offers 4K HDR, a 110-degree field of view, and foveated rendering. With an OLED display, players can expect a display resolution of 2000×2040 per eye and smooth frame rates of 90/120Hz.
- Headset-based Controller Tracking: With inside-out tracking, PS VR2 tracks you and your controller through integrated cameras embedded in the VR headset. Your movements and the direction you look at are reflected in-game without the need for an external camera.
- New Sensory Features: PS VR2 Sense Technology combines eye tracking, headset feedback, 3D Audio, and the innovative PS VR2 Sense controller to create an incredibly deep feeling of immersion. Headset feedback is a new sensory feature that amplifies the sensations of in-game actions from the player. It’s created by a single built-in motor with vibrations that add an intelligent tactile element, bringing players closer to the gameplay experience. For example, players will feel a character’s quickened pulses during intense moments, the rush of objects passing close to the character’s head, or the thrust of a vehicle as the character speeds forward. Also, Tempest 3D AudioTech adds a stronger effect to this new level of immersion in terms of in-game audio.
- Eye Tracking: With eye tracking, PS VR2 detects the motion of your eyes, so a simple look in a specific direction can create an additional input for the game character. This allows players to interact more intuitively in new and lifelike ways, allowing for a heightened emotional response and enhanced expression that provide a new level of realism in gaming.
As much as this all sounds great, honestly we expect to see that players will still be much happier for the news of single wire. In terms of technological advancements it is a great step of course, but considering that the system is built for PS5, it still depends on the games and the potential of VR-related experience.
One such game we can mention is Horizon Call of the Moutain. There is not much information around yet, but there will be a new character and we will get to meet new and returning characters, including Aloy. We will have to wait and see if all this hype will live up to the expectation.
