Sony Reveals Its Next-Gen VR Controller

The new controller will feature adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, and more.

Previously, Sony revealed they are working on the next-generation virtual reality system for PS5, and now they presented a new controller which will come with a bunch of exciting features.

First, when it comes to design, the controller has an "orb" allowing players to hold the controller naturally. This shape is also said to provide a high degree of freedom. 

"We also designed the new controller with great ergonomics in mind, so it’s well-balanced and comfortable to hold in each of your hands," said Hideaki Nishino, Senior Vice President, Platform Planning and Management. "We applied learnings from testing users with a range of hand sizes, as well as the decades of insights from controllers across all PlayStation platforms. The result is an iconic design that will change how VR games are played."

Features:

  • Adaptive triggers: Each VR controller (Left and Right) features an adaptive trigger button for palpable tension when pressed.
  • Haptic feedback: The new controller is said to feature haptic feedback optimized for its form factor.
  • Finger touch detection: The controller has the ability to detect players' fingers without any pressing in the areas where their place their thumb, index, or middle fingers.
  • Tracking: The VR controller is said to be tracked by the new VR headset through a tracking ring across the bottom of the controller.
  • Action buttons/analog sticks: The Left controller jas one analog stick, the triangle and square buttons, a "grip" button (L1), trigger button (L2) and Create button.
