Sony, PlayStation VR2 specifications published 4K HDR and a lot of new information such as gaze tracking
Sony has revealed the name of the next PSVR in CES2022 in Las Vegas as "PlayStation VR2", but has released a new information on PlayStation VR2 and a new VR controller "PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller".
The next -generation PlayStation VR was announced in February 2021 and the new controller was announced in March, but it was finally open to the official release of about 10 months.
PSVR2 (abbreviated) is a VR system for PS5, a successor to the PlayStation VR.It seems that the next -generation VR system will be provided with high -definition visuals, new sensor functions, evolution of tracking performance, and connecting to PS5 with a single cable.
Explinating video expression
PlayStation VR2 is a 4K HDR display, 110 -degree viewing angle, forbeaveded rendering (a method of drawing at a high resolution as the center vision of the player, and a method of drawing with a low resolution as it goes out of the field of view).It will be provided.
The screen is an organic EL display, achieving a resolution of 2000 x 2040 per eye and a smooth frame rate of 90/120Hz.This resolution is far more than the current PS VR 960 × 1080, a little lower than the HP REVERB G2 (one eye 2160 × 2160), which is the highest peak of consumer VR headset, slightly higher than META's Oculus Quest 2.Will be.
Tracking controller by headset
Adopts inside out tracking and tracks the player and controller through a VR headset with a built -in VR headset.There is no need to put a camera outside the main unit, and the movement and direction of the player will be reflected in the game.
The system that captures the position and hand movement of the wearer on the headset side is becoming mainstream in Oculus Quest2 and other competitors VR goggles, and it is expected that the MR headset, which is rumored to be developing Apple, will be adopted in the same format.increase.
New sensing function
The combination of gaze tracking, headset feedback, 3D audio and new PlayStation VR2 Sense controller creates a surprisingly deep immersion.Among them, "headset feedback" is a motor with a built -in headset that vibrates the head, which adds a tactile element to the head. For example, the pulse of the character rises, a thing passes near the head, and the vehicle speeds up.If you raise it, you will have a propulsion.
By adding Tempest 3D audio technology on the PS5 side, it seems that the player can receive actions and reactions in the game as a matter of themselves by "tactile and three -dimensional sound".
Gaze tracking
It is said that PSVR2 detects the movement of the wearer's eye and can operate the character simply by looking at a specific direction.The emotions and facial expressions of players and game characters are easy to synchronize, and it is claimed that "the realism in the game is raised to a new level".
このGaze trackingは、上述のフォービエイテッド・レンダリングと関連が深いとも推測されます。つまりプレイヤーが注視しているところを精細に描き周辺視野を粗くすることで、PS5程度のコンピューティング・パワーでも没入できるVR体験を提供可能にするということでしょう。
Intuitively, the evolution of PSVR2 combines the Haptic Feedback of the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller (transmitting the touch with delicate vibration) and the adaptive trigger (the resistance changes dynamically) to make games and interracting more intuitively.It is stated.
The emphasis is on the fact that the current PSVR connection is the complexity of the current PSVR connection, as the current PSVR connection is a simple setup so that you can enjoy the VR experience immediately by connecting one cable to PS5.Probably because it was.
Although it was not completely wireless like Oculus Quest2, it is unavoidable to connect to the data exchanged between PS5.Anyway, the fact that you can move around freely (only the length of the cable) without the need for an external camera will be thankful for being immersed in VR experiences.
