WIRELESS VIRTUAL
REALITY
For many VR is merely a stepping stone
towards augmented reality (AR), and the
patent shows a headset with a transparent
visor where the cameras beam data into the
user’s eyes, forgoing the need for a screen.
“Eye tracking is almost guaranteed to be in
second-generation VR headsets,” said Will
Mason, co-founder of virtual reality media
company UploadVR, when interviewed by
USA Today. “It’s an incredibly important
piece of the VR puzzle.”

RISE OF AR
While some of the new controller’s
features have been revealed, it still
holds some secrets. It’s rumoured
the DualShock 5 will come with an
integrated camera to make its motion
controls even better.

Your thoughts
Sony has been clear there won’t
be a PS VR 2 at the launch of
PS5, but that doesn’t mean new
hardware isn’t coming. A patent
filed by Sony suggests the next
PS VR will feature two front- and
one rear-mounted camera, as well
as LEDs around the headset, and
a separate camera sat near
the PS5. We can hope.
