A new generation of virtual reality is coming: Sony showed controllers for the PlayStation VR 2

In February the company Sony Interactive Entertainment officially announced the development of the next generation headset PlayStation VR for Playstation 5, and today suddenly introduced new controllers for her.

The design of the new controllers is similar to a sphere, so that players can easily and confidently hold them in their hands with great freedom of action. According to senior vice president of planning and platform management Hideaki Nishino, they allow you to move your hands as you like, and with this in mind, the developers will have an excellent opportunity to experiment with the gameplay.

When designing the new controllers, Sony borrowed some of the capabilities from DualSensemaking “the company’s ideas for the next generation of virtual reality games now feasible.”

Key features of the new controllers:

  • Adaptive triggers: Each of the left and right hand controllers will have adaptive triggers with resistance like DualSense;
  • Tactile feedback: Every little thing in the game will be conveyed in detail through tactile feedback. The feeling of traveling through rocky deserts and fist fights will be very different;
  • Touch detection system: The sensors will know where the player wants to place their fingers even before he places them on the controller. This will allow for more natural hand movements in play;
  • Tracking: At the bottom of the controller is a tracking device that will transmit a signal to a new virtual reality headset;
  • Action buttons and analog joysticks: The left-hand controller has one analog stick, triangle and square buttons, a grip button (L1), a shot button (L2), and a Create button. The right controller has one analog stick, cross and circle buttons, a grab button (R1), a shot button (R2), and an Options button. Using the grab button, you can, for example, pick up objects in the game.

“The SIE design, engineering and development teams have joined forces to create a new VR controller from the ground up. This is a giant leap forward in VR gaming. This controller is our pride, but what matters is how game developers use its capabilities to create games. for next generation virtual reality. Soon our controller will fall into the hands of developers, and we can’t wait to see what miracles they can create and how this controller will help them make their dreams come true! “
