Sony patented a glove controller for PlayStation VR

It’s no secret that the developers of virtual reality are not the first year break the head, trying to come up with what to do with users hands. For some games, of course, it is enough to take the gamepad – and that’s all, you’re in the cockpit of the star pilot. But how to be, let’s say, with those who prefer other genres? How to ensure that the players do not feel that their head is in the same world, and the hands are in another.

Until now, to demonstrate the capabilities of the PlayStation VR helmet Sony Used PlayStation Move controllers. In this case, it is no doubt better than DualShock. But, it seems, the Japanese are not going to stop on the achieved and view other options.

Recently, the corporation submitted an application for three patents associated with a glove controller, which could track the location of each finger, included contact sensors, pressure sensors and brush movements, sent a signal on the helmet (on the display of the hand in real time) and vibration on the hand for the feeling of touch.

It is necessary to note that the presence of a patent, alas, absolutely does not mean that Sony really embodies this idea to life. In any case, let’s hope that if the creators of PlayStation and take a miracle glove, then it will be better for them than Nintendo in 1989.
