Sony has released a new official “Feel a New Real” trailer for its next-generation PlayStation VR 2 headset.
Last week, Sony shared first impressions of its upcoming PlayStation VR 2 headset. This week, Sony released a trailer of the headset titled “Feel a New Real” that gives some unique insights about the headset. The headset will be launched in early 2023, so fans won’t be waiting long.
The trailer heralds the first of what will be a rousing hype machine leading up to the headset’s launch.
The trailer gives a first glimpse of the headset in action. The video provides an understandable look at the technology and highlights some of the headset’s unique features.
Modern design and first-class display
The trailer starts with a presentation of the headset and its Sense controllers. The hardware has a spherical shape and is a welcome change from the boxy design of the older virtual reality headsets. However, the PlayStation VR 2 headset remains bulky.
After an exposition of the headset and controllers, the trailer takes you to an opening gate that reveals a spectacular landscape. Sony uses this to show the vastness of the virtual reality landscape and the fact that the user is visually immersed in the virtual environment rather than just viewing them on a monitor.
The trailer then shows the technical characteristics of the headset. It starts with the display, which has a resolution of 2,000 by 2,040 pixels per eye. Most current headsets have about the same resolution.
The PSVR2 uses OLED technology. It surpasses most other virtual reality headsets in color fidelity and contrast. Most other headsets use LC displays instead of OLED display technology.
Follow eye
The PSVR2 supports eye tracking functionality. The PlayStation VR 2 headset is the consumer virtual reality headset with eye tracking support.
Eye-tracking functionality allows to have realistic avatars and eye contact in avatars, gaze-based interactions and foveated display. Foveated rendering is a rendering technique in which the eye-tracking system and VR headset minimize the rendering workload by significantly decreasing the image quality on the peripheral vision and maximizing the image quality in the line of sight within the zone that the fovea is looking at.
Foveated rendering helps save computing power and allows for more detailed virtual reality worlds. The PlayStation VR 2 headset is the first consumer-facing virtual reality headset to use foveated rendering and is likely to be popular with avid VR enthusiasts.
Sony’s field of view is not significantly different from other headsets today. Initial reports indicate that the PSVR2 headset’s field of view is wider than other commercially targeted VR headsets such as the Meta Quest 2.
Unique hand and head haptics
While 3D audio and finger recognition have been standard for years, the headset lacks feedback. The PSVR 2 headset has a built-in vibration motor in the head mount for additional haptic effects on the head. This design also helps reduce motion sickness, a unique feature of the PlayStation VR 2 headset.
The PSVR 2 headset also has the new Sense controllers. These controllers are specially designed for the PSVR 2 headset. The Sense controllers also feature the same haptic technology used in the DualSense gamepad and adaptive triggers for simulating different resistances. This allows for more realistic interactions. The Sense controllers have more advanced haptic feedback than other competing hardware.
