I just thought it was the year 2022 just a few days ago, and before I knew it, it was the 5th of January.
Due to the calendar, many places are closed on the 4th this year, and it seems that many people start their work on January 5.
On Wednesday, January 5, the year 2022 started in earnest, and the first big announcement of the year was made regarding the next generation PlayStation, " PlayStation 5 " (PS5), which is expected to be a big hit again this year.
The new PS VR for PS5, whose controller design was recently announced, has been officially unveiled!
溢れ出る未来感！PS5向け新型VRコントローラーが発表！
PlayStation VR2 officially announced!
The official name of the next generation virtual reality system for PS5 is " PlayStation VR2 The official name of the next generation virtual reality system for PS5 will be "PlayStation VR2"!
The name may sound like the same thing as it is, but since it will be the successor to the PS VR, which helped popularize the existence of VR, it is better to use a familiar name. The abbreviation will surely be PS VR2!
PlayStation VR2 will be the next generation VR device with high definition visuals, new sensor functions, advanced tracking performance, and the ability to connect to PS5 with a single cable. The ability to connect to PS5 with a single cable is a nice feature.
Some of the specifications have also been announced, including a 4K HDR display, a 110-degree viewing angle, and a high-quality, realistic image using Forbidden Rendering ( a method of rendering with a higher resolution in the center of the player's field of view and a lower resolution as the player moves out of the field of view).
The OLED display is used to provide a resolution of 2000 x 2040 per eye, a frame rate of 90/120 Hz, and a subtle, smooth visual presentation.
Inside-out tracking is used to track the player and controller through a camera mounted on the VR headset, so there is no need for a separate camera, and the game will reflect the player's movements and the direction he or she is facing.
Visual tracking will also be included.
The PlayStation VR2 can detect the player's eye movements and control the game character just by looking in a certain direction, making the game even more immersive and intuitive!
The new controller for the PlayStation VR2 will be called "PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller". PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller The new controller for the PlayStation VR2 will be called the "PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller"!
The "PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller" will be equipped with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a " finger touch" function that recognizes your finger just by touching it without having to press it, but the "PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller" will also be equipped with various sensing functions. The "PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller" will be equipped with a "finger touch" function that recognizes the user's finger just by touching it.
The "PlayStation VR2" will feature " Headset Feedback," which adds a tactile element with the vibration of a single motor built into the headset.
This will bring the player and the character together, whether it's an increased pulse rate during tense scenes, a jolt when an object passes close to the character's head, or a propulsive force when speed is increased!
Combine this with the tactile features of the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller, and you have a VR experience unlike any other, and it's going to be the best VR device ever!
Hold your horses and wait for more information!
The name and some specifications of the PlayStation VR2 and PlayStation VR2 Sense controller have been officially announced, but the release date, price, and design of the PlayStation VR2 The release date, price, and design of the PlayStation VR2 will be announced in the future.
Since this is the first announcement for the year 2022, we are hoping for a release by the end of 2022... but we will have to wait for further information.
VR is of course a game, but recently it is also attracting attention in the metaverse.
Since "PlayStation VR2" will be a high-performance VR device, it is expected to be used in a variety of ways other than for "PlayStation VR2" game titles.
Let's wait for new information and hope that "PlayStation VR2" will be a big wave in the VR world.
