If you are a happy owner of a virtual reality headset PlayStation VR, then certainly had experience with unusual controllers PlayStation Move. It's silly to deny the fact that since the time of the console PlayStation 3, they are hopelessly outdated and hardly suitable for most modern video games. The lack of analog handles for character movement, low accuracy of tracking movements in space - all this leaves an unpleasant residue in the players. And Sony is well aware of this, as among the new patents of the company, not so long ago, the concept of a completely new VR-controller was discovered.
Of course, it is not a fact that the controller of movements will look exactly like the images in the patent, but a lot of interesting conclusions can be drawn from the document. First, the controller will lose the rubber glowing ball, thanks to which the PlayStation Camera tracked its position in space. How exactly his position will be calculated now - is not yet clear. The controller will (at last!) Have an analog handle to accurately move the character in the virtual world. Around this handle are a few buttons.
In addition, inside the handle of the controller, a mechanism is hidden that can track the position of the player's fingers and (!!!) change the shape of the handle, reducing or increasing its radius in several places. Apparently, so Sony will try to strengthen the effect of presence, when the player will take in hand virtual objects. Among other things, the new controller is equipped with a microphone and built-in speaker. The speaker in this case will let you hear, for example, shots from a virtual weapon as if you were holding it in your hand. It is not yet clear whether this controller will be sold at all or will remain just a concept. But it would be nice to see it complete with the second version of the PlayStation VR helmet.
