Sony came out with a new technology that could allow users to bring real-life objects to their virtual games. sony also officially announced the PSVR2 and the first set of Playstation 5 games, reports Video Chronical Games.
The real-life object to a VR object technology
As spotted by Game Rant, the technology described could allow users to generate virtual game objects based on real-world items they’d scanned. The object could then be inserted into a game or simulation, with properties chosen by the user.
Sony originally filed the patent last summer, however, it has since had to revise and submit new details this week after questions were raised by the patent office around some of its technology claims.
According to an included mock-up, users can scan even large objects using the technology, although a full 360-degree view is required.
That patent, if approved, could have obvious implications for software planned for the upcoming PlayStation VR2 headset, which was fully detailed during Sony’s CES 2022 showcase earlier this week.
About the patent
The tech described also sounds similar to another Sony patent, filed last year, which it claimed could enable players to use normal household items, including fruit, as cheap game controllers.
The patent application entitled “System and method for generating user inputs for a video game” enables players to be able to use the likes of bananas and oranges as cheaper alternatives to proper controllers. PS5‘s DualSense currently retails for $70 / £60.
