With PlayStation 5 just around the corner, it?s left a lot of questions about the next generation of PSVR. Though Sony?s new console is confirmed to be backwards compatible with current PSVR headsets, rumors about PSVR 2 continue to spring up. The latest evidence to show Sony?s next-generation VR technology is a new PlayStation VR controller patent that casts aside the ball-ended Moves for something more like the Valve Index or Vive Pro controllers.
Sony filed the patent in August 2018 and it was published on the 13th of this month. The controller straps around the palm of the hand players to freely using their fingers without needing to grip the controller. There?s a physical trigger button and a tracking sensor that detects individual finger movement. From the patent filing:
