Foreign media found that PlayStation has a patent for an ultrasonic haptic feedback system. Put simply, such a system allows you to reach and “feel” an object that does not actually exist. It’s similar to the holograms and floating screens in science fiction movies that react to your touch, even if it’s just a projection in the air. If it can be achieved, the virtual reality of the PlayStation platform will be taken to a new level. PSVR2 can already trace the player’s fingers for more precise manipulation in the game – if you can feel the interactive objects, I’m afraid that’s really promising.
This immersion has been one of SONY’s goals since the launch of PS5. The DualSense controller has self-adjusting triggers and haptic feedback, as does the PSVR2 ball controller. As the patent shows, SONY wants to combine it with its ultrasonic feedback system to allow interaction throughout the room.
At the moment, the main question is when PSVR 2 will be released, knowing only that the new versions of “Evil Castle 8” and “Horizon: Call of the Mountain” will be the first games.
