Sony unveils next-generation VR controller after PS5

[게임플] Sony Interactive Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as SIE), which expanded the fun of PlayStation by introducing PS VR in 2016, released a new controller currently under development following the release of the next-generation VR system for PS5, attracting users’ attention.

SIE received attention from before launch as a new attempt to break away from the existing design from the next-generation console PS5 was seen, and the next-generation VR controller that was unveiled this time also has a unique design that has not been seen before.

Looking at the appearance of the new controller, first of all, it feels fresh from the outside in a different spherical shape from the stick controller PS MOVE currently used in PS VR.

In addition, because it is VR enjoyed through the console, it looks like the controller used in the existing console has been separated in half, and it seems that it provides a somewhat familiar operation feeling to those who have enjoyed games through the console, so that they can focus more on VR.

SIE added, “It can be held naturally in your hand, so there is no restriction on how you move your hand,” and added, “Because it is well balanced by focusing on ergonomic design, it can be held comfortably in the hand.”

In addition, this VR controller supports a variety of functions that were not seen in previous controllers as well as the changed appearance, showing the appearance suitable for the next-generation controller.

Similar to the previously released next-generation controller Dual Sense, the’Adaptive Trigger’ is introduced, in which the user’s character’s behavior changes little by little depending on how hard a specific trigger button is pressed.

This makes it possible for gamers to adjust the degree to which arrows fly according to the pressure applied to the trigger button when pulling the bow or shooting a gun in the VR world, and easily control whether to shoot the gun in single shots or in a series of shots.

In addition, the’haptic feedback’ function, which was first introduced in Dual Sense, is also installed, allowing you to feel from minute vibrations to strong vibrations in various environments such as exploring the VR world or conducting battles, so you will be able to enjoy realistic VR with only two functions. I think.

The’finger touch detection’ function, which detects the position of the finger holding the controller even if you do not press the button, has also been added, making it possible to enjoy VR games comfortably while taking more natural gestures.

In addition, the VR headset tracks the tracking ring that exists at the bottom of the controller by itself, so you can easily play VR games with only the headset and controller, and you can move more conveniently in the VR world through the analog stick, or control in-game functions through various buttons. It became easier to activate.

In this way, following the next-generation console PS5 released by SIE last year, it is paying attention to the future as to whether it will be able to open a new horizon of VR games by introducing the next-generation VR based on a new controller with a design and function that is rare in other VRs.
