As
virtual reality (VR) technology is applied to console games, the types of
peripheral devices are becoming more diverse. Sony's flagship console game
PlayStation has also continuously upgraded its peripherals. Now, it supports
headsets, cameras, and various controllers so that you can enjoy virtual
reality (VR) games. Let's look at the three technologies that Sony recently filed
for the PlayStation controller.

You can play with bananas?
As
VR peripherals became more diverse, the complexity of the game increased, and
the cost of purchasing the device increased, and the hassle of management such
as charging the battery increased. A technology that could relieve this burden
has been filed. This is a US patent that was released in February of this year,
and it is a method that allows you to use items in the house as a controller
without purchasing a separate controller.
This
is a method in which a virtual button (input location) can be assigned to the
object by grasping the shape and color of an object with a camera. The idea is
that any object that does not shine and maintains its shape is possible. It
uses bananas or oranges as controllers.

Motion
controller that delivers a vivid feeling,
This
patent is for a motion controller equipped with an electric function. It
provides a tactile feedback (HAPTIC FEEDBACK) so that you can feel more
realism. It can be seen in the drawings that it is designed to generate
vibration.

Tracking motion with a headset,
In
the spring of last year, an international patent filed by Sony is a technology
for headsets and motion controllers. It is a technology that tracks the gamer's
motion with a camera mounted on the headset. The camera mounted on the front of
the headset seems to detect the light emitting unit in the motion controller
and track movement such as posture and position. A motion controller form that
can be held by inserting a hand is presented in the drawing. The controller
also appears to contain control buttons, sticks, and touch sensors.

The basic controller (Dual Sense) of the PlayStation 5, released at the end of last year, has also improved the motion control function. In addition, Sony has already announced the launch of the next-generation VR system. Sony's new motion controller design, which was announced two weeks ago, also seems to be in the shape of a hand wrap.

So far, we have looked at the application for Sony's PlayStation controller. We don't know if it will be released as a real product, but it's definitely good news for those who love games. Virtual reality technology is expected to continue to evolve. We must look forward to seeing what impact it will have on the game industry.
