Sony won’t have locked down PlayStation VR2 specs regardless of offering some particulars at CES 2022. Tobii says it is in talks to supply eye monitoring expertise for the next-gen VR headset. It famous the discussions have been “ongoing” and that it could not share the potential monetary affect of the deal. The agency is required to disclose the negotiations to honor EU market rules.

We’ve requested Sony for remark. The firm beforehand confirmed the PlayStation VR2 would use eye monitoring, however did not title a tech provider or clarify intimately how the characteristic would work. The headset can even use camera-based “inside-out” monitoring to detect head and controller motion.

The revelation suggests PlayStation VR2 won’t arrive for some time. Game console makers usually have to solidify {hardware} specs properly prematurely, each for the sake of producing and to provide builders time to supply video games optimized for brand spanking new gadgets. If Sony nonetheless hasn’t chosen a supplier for a key characteristic like eye monitoring, a launch continues to be an extended methods off.

Not that this might be a whole shock. Sony first teased PlayStation VR2 in early 2021, and warned there was “a lot” of labor left on the venture. The electronics agency dominated out any launch that yr, and nonetheless hasn’t given a normal timeframe for the wearable’s debut. Tobii’s declare would possibly simply mood expectations for PlayStation 5 house owners wanting to attempt Sony’s newest tackle VR.
