One of the common complaints that PlayStation VR faces is the wires that entangle its users behind them, but with this new patent, perhaps that will be a thing of the past.
Sony has patented a new band determination device and frequency band determination method to allow the PlayStation system to figure out the location of the user?s movements. According to the patent, the PS4 could have a ?program capable of switching a frequency band used for communication earlier than before according to a change in an environment in which a communication device or a communication partner is placed.? The language might be a little advanced, but the associated images make things pretty clear.

It?s difficult to assess the scientific language of the patent, but from what this looks like, the image is sent out to the headset wirelessly and feedback is returned to a break out box attached to the PlayStation system. Whether or not this is going to be the same PlayStation VR unit with a wireless tweak, a completely new model with a better heads up display for a new system (PSVR2 on the PS5 maybe"), or if it?s actually going to release is unclear. While patents may hint at technology that companies are exploring, they don?t always release. A new PSVR without cables hasn?t been officially confirmed by Sony, but one of the earliest cited concerns with wireless VR was the latency. If Sony is exploring the technology, it could mean that they?ve solved any delays caused by the wireless transmi...
