Corn SIE spoke about it much more concretely during a conference at the CES 2022 tonight, by giving in particular the official names of the products and especially their technical characteristics. Already, the helmet will be called PlayStation VR2 Where PS VR2, and will be exclusively usable via a PlayStation 5. And the noises of the corridors were right, it will include well an OLED HDR screen offering a resolution up to 4K at 120 fps, will use the mechanics of haptic feedback to make us feel sensations in the headset, and will offer real-time gaze monitoring, just that. There will be no cameras to place in your environment, because the 4 that the device has will be integrated into it. Everything is explained below.
- Visual fidelity : PS VR2 is 4K and HDR compatible, offers a 110-degree field of view and features foveal rendering, ensuring a high-fidelity viewing experience. Thanks to its OLED display, gamers will be able to enjoy a display resolution of 2000 x 2040 per eye and a refresh rate of 90/120 Hz.

This technology relies on an integrated motor that vibrates to add an intelligent tactile component, which immerses players more intensely in the game. gameplay experience. For example, players may feel a character’s pulse quicken during times of high tension, a grazing sensation when objects pass close to their character’s head, or the thrust of a vehicle picking up speed. speed. In addition, the Tempest 3D AudioTech technology of the PS5 brings the entire gaming environment to life, for even more immersion.

This allows the players to interact in a more intuitive, innovative and realistic way with the environment, for a tenfold emotional response, a improved expression and a new level of realism in games.
