Sony confirms PSVR 2 for PS5, will come with a new controller

Sony has officially confirmed the next generation PSVR headset. The new headset will connect via a single cable to the PS5, and the new controller for the PSVR headset will incorporate features found on the DualSense Controller. In an official blog post, Hideaki Nishino, Senior Vice President, Platform Planning & Management, said, “Today I’m pleased to share that our next-generation VR system will be coming to PlayStation 5, enabling the ultimate entertainment experience with dramatic leaps in performance and interactivity. Players will feel an even greater sense of presence and become even more immersed in their game worlds once they put on the new headset”.

PSVR 2 specifications and features

The blog post highlights an early look at some features we can expect from the second generation PSVR headset. To begin with, you will no longer have to deal with a bundle of cables and a break-out box to connect the headset to the console. The second-generation PSVR headset will connect to the PS5 (review) via a single cable. The headset’s resolution will also see a bump, and users can expect to have a higher field of view as well. Needless to say, VR games on the PS5 will sport higher fidelity. 

Unlike the first generation PSVR headset, which relied on the Move Controllers launched during the PS3 era, the PSVR 2 will have a new controller with features found on the DualSense. The DualSense controller brings incredible haptic feedback along with Adaptive Triggers for an immersive gaming experience. It will be interesting to see how developers add to the immersion with high fidelity visuals and controls that give you feedback.

The first generation PSVR headset was a good entry point for those that wanted to experience VR gaming but couldn’t afford a state-of-the-art gaming PC and headset. While the PSVR headset offered some immersive experiences in the form of Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, Tetris Effect, Blood & Truth, Moss, Beat Saber, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and many more, the limitations in comparison to PC VR were felt when Half-Life Alyx (review) launched. Can we expect to see Half-Life Alyx on PSVR 2? 

PSVR 2 launch date and price

Sony has confirmed that the PSVR 2 will not launch in 2021. The blog post reads, “There’s still a lot of development underway for our new VR system, so it won’t be launching in 2021”. In an interview with GQ, President & CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan said, “Dev kits (for the new PSVR headset) are about to go out”. So we can expect the headset to launch in 2022. There is no information on the price, but we can expect the headset to have competitive pricing.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
