Sina Technology News Beijing time on August 23 morning news, it is reported that Japan's Sony recently announced on a number of social media, virtual reality headset "PlayStation VR2" will be released early next year.

Earlier this year, Sony officially released detailed design information for the virtual reality device, but no sales price has been announced yet. It is said that the PS VR2 will be equipped with a high-definition display with a 4K resolution, a refresh rate of 90Hz or 120Hz and a 110-degree viewing angle. The device supports "point-of-view rendering" technology, meaning that some areas are clearer than others, reducing the burden on gaming devices (VR2 will use Sony's PS5 as a computing device). Sony also said that only one USB-C cable is needed to connect the virtual reality device to the game console.

Sony has previously announced that it will have more than 20 large-scale virtual reality games ready for the official launch of VR2, including virtual reality versions of two popular games, Unmanned Deep Space and biochemical Evil 8: village, as well as newly developed virtual reality games.

The first generation of virtual reality devices sold by Sony in the past, the PS VR, relied on cameras connected to game consoles to identify users' movements and movements. It is reported that VR2 will not adopt this mode, it will adopt a mode similar to the Quest 2 device, using the headset's own camera to track movements. This means that VR2 also allows players to see their surroundings as they move around wearing a headset.

Sony also announced that players can broadcast live through the PS5 when enjoying virtual reality games, but users must install PS HD high-definition cameras.

Sony also showed the controller developed for the VR2, with triggers and vibration feedback, similar to the DualSense controller that Sony configured for the PS5 game console. The controller can also recognize finger touch, which means that players no longer have to press hard, and the controller can also identify the position of the thumb, middle finger and index finger.

On computing devices, VR2 will have to work with Sony's own PS5 game console in the future. Sony has previously released the PS5 game console, but many fans have not yet bought it, and the VR2 can only cooperate with the PS5 is obviously not good news.

However, the sales problem of the PS5 seems to be being solved. Sony has adopted the queuing mode, and the console will not be sold out as soon as it comes out.

But the most important thing for gamers at the time the VR2 headset is officially released is to make sure they have bought the PS5 console.

At present, there is also the possibility that after the official release of the VR2, the equipment will be snapped up and Sony will have to prepare the goods. For players who want to enjoy virtual reality games, they will face the question of whether there is an adequate supply of two popular Sony products, namely, PS5 and VR2.

When it is released, VR2 will face a series of competitors in virtual reality games. Later this year, Facebook parent company Meta will release a high-end Cambria headset. However, like VR2, Meta has not yet announced the price of the device. It is worth mentioning that Meta recently announced an increase in the price of its two-and-a-half-year-old Quest 2 headset, which does not bode well for Cambria pricing.

Apple is also developing augmented reality or mixed reality devices, and the entire technology industry is watching when Apple will launch. The device is said to be priced at thousands of dollars. Guo Mingyi, an authoritative analyst who has followed Apple for a long time, predicted that the headset could be released in January.
