Specs voor PlayStation VR2 onthuld

Sony heeft wat meer details onthuld omtrent hun nieuwe PlayStation VR headset. Die zal officieel door het leven gaan als PlayStation VR2. De nieuwe controllers, die vorig jaar al onthuld werden, zullen bekend staan als PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers.

Van zowel de nieuwe headset als de controllers gaf Sony technische specificaties vrij. Het design van PlayStation VR2 kregen we echter nog niet te zien. Dit doet terugdenken aan de uitgerekte onthulling van de PS5, waarvan Sony ook eerst met allerlei technische informatie op de proppen kwam alvorens de console effectief te tonen.

Wat die specs betreft, komt PlayStation VR2 met een OLED-scherm dat per oog een resolutie van 2000 x 2040 biedt. Het field of view bedraagt ongeveer 110° en zowel 90Hz als 120Hz worden ondersteund als refresh rate. De headset bevat ook geavanceerde motion sensing en 4 camera's die gebruikt worden voor het tracken van zowel de headset als de controllers.

De volledige specs zijn hieronder terug te vinden. Naast de technische specificaties werd ook een eerste game onthuld in de vorm van Horizon Call of the Mountain.

PlayStation VR2

• Visual Fidelity: For a high-fidelity visual experience, PS VR2 offers 4K HDR, 110-degree field of view, and foveated rendering. With an OLED display, players can expect a display resolution of 2000×2040 per eye and smooth frame rates of 90/120Hz.
  
  
• Headset-based Controller Tracking: With inside-out tracking, PS VR2 tracks you and your controller through integrated cameras embedded in the VR headset. Your movements and the direction you look at are reflected in-game without the need for an external camera.
  
  
• New Sensory Features: PS VR2 Sense Technology combines eye tracking, headset feedback, 3D Audio, and the innovative PS VR2 Sense controller to create an incredibly deep feeling of immersion. Headset feedback is a new sensory feature that amplifies the sensations of in-game actions from the player. It’s created by a single built-in motor with vibrations that add an intelligent tactile element, bringing players closer to the gameplay experience. For example, gamers can feel a character’s elevated pulse during tense moments, the rush of objects passing close to the character’s head, or the thrust of a vehicle as the character speeds forward. Additionally, PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech makes sounds in the player’s surroundings come alive, adding to this new level of immersion.
  
  
• Eye Tracking: With eye tracking, PS VR2 detects the motion of your eyes, so a simple look in a specific direction can create an additional input for the game character. This allows players to interact more intuitively in new and lifelike ways, allowing for a heightened emotional response and enhanced expression that provide a new level of realism in gaming.
