PS5 Controllers for Virtual Reality: Details and Features

Many users have pleaded for the launch of a black PS5 that offers a different design than the current one, and maintains the classic aesthetics of previous generations. Sony at the moment does not seem to be very much for the work, since the manufacturer conceived its new console with the immaculate appearance that we know today, but it seems that the future does hold the return of the long-awaited color. At least with another device.

These are the controls of the future virtual reality of PlayStation 5

A few weeks ago, Sony itself announced the first details of what will be its next virtual reality platform , and although they spoke of a viewfinder with higher resolution, response time and viewing angle, the details remained in simple brush strokes on the specifications and we got nothing on the aesthetic side.

But luckily, Sony has spoken about it again, and now we have the opportunity to meet who will be the official controls of the new virtual reality glasses. As you can see in the images, these controls have a spherical design that surrounds the entire hand without affecting ergonomics, giving a quite futuristic look, but also reminiscent in a certain way of other current solutions such as Oculus Rift controllers.

These wireless controllers quickly surprise by their aesthetics, but they will also do so by their functionalities. And we already know a lot about that, since these controllers will share many of the functions that we can find today in the PS5 DualSense. We will thus find the famous adaptive triggers with which to feel the pressure of the button as we press it, the haptic feedback with which to feel a much more precise vibration or the classic PlayStation buttons distributed between the two controls.

But you will also enjoy its own novelties, such as touch detection , which will be responsible for recognizing the position of the fingers and the way in which we grip the remote. Thanks to this, we can perform gestures without pressing the buttons, so we could experience really interesting things in virtual reality.

Another novelty is related to the monitoring of the controls. Until now, the augmented reality viewer relied on the webcam and the lights of the PlayStation Move to locate the controller in the virtual experience, but now, these new controls incorporate a tracking ring at the bottom that will serve for the viewer can locate them without problem. Does this mean that you don’t need a webcam to handle them? Just.

Is this the black color of the future PS5 Black?

Another interesting detail that we have seen is that the design of the controls will be completely black. Sony may want to divide platforms to differentiate between the virtual branch and the classic branch, but we have been very struck by the fact that the controls are presented in this grayish black color, instead of maintaining the predominant white design in the new generation of PlayStation. Will this be a first preview of the desired black PS5? We will have to keep waiting to find out, but we would not mind seeing a PS5 with that finish.
