Looks good if true.

The model presented has reduced the size of its predecessor and has increased the rear in contact with the head.
The wheel also disappears,which adjusted the side fastening rubbers and is replaced by anchors in the form of snaps.

Posible diseño de las PSVR de nueva generación - Distrito XR

Una patente fechada el 21 de octubre deja entrever como podría ser el diseño las PSVR de nueva generación

[R6Rider]

Doubt it, but that design does look good.

 

[Inviusx]

Have Sony confirmed if PSVR2 is wireless this time around?

 

[FunkMiller]

Is that a render based on the patent illustration? I’m assuming so. Cant see the reason for the transparent front piece, but it looks to be weighted evenly fir a comfortable fit.

 

[Punished Miku]

Needs customizable face plates on the front.

Seriously though, all I want is wireless and affordable.

 

[TheAssist]

Have Sony confirmed if PSVR2 is wireless this time around?

They have confirmed its wired.

How would it be wireless?

 

[NewYork214]

Have Sony confirmed if PSVR2 is wireless this time around?

Pretty sure it was stated there will be a single usb-c cable going to console

 

[FunkMiller]

It’s not unfortunately.

 

[McCheese]

Light leak would be terrible on that mockup, looks more like an AR headset than a VR one.

The design in the filing looks more realistic

 

[rofif]

Looks like that microsoft ar thing

That's because that's actually an AR equipment:

I seem to recall they confirmed that it is not wireless.

You’re right, I’ll update with the other image. That one was just used as it looked similar.

That "render" is an actual AR headset Sony made for a Ghostbusters AR thing they did in Japan.

That said, the patent could be for a VR headset. Who knows.

At the end of human history we realize it was the Astro Bots all along and we are they/them/us/zhe/nonbinary.

[onQ123]

Sony Corporation & not Sony Interactive so it's not PSVR2 but probably a new Sony HMD

Im probably the only person here that want the next headset to be AR or MR & not just VR.

 

[RJMacready73]

Wireless? We're a few gens away from it being able to deliver the kids of visuals I want wirelessly and as an owner of the of PSVR a single wire and proper controllers is a fucking game changer for this thing, I'm more than happy

 

[ManaByte]

They have confirmed its wired.

Same way the Quest 2 is. Really hope they figure out a way for this to be before launch.

 

[NoviDon]

Oculus is not comparible to a AAA VR device. Idk why you would even bring that up. And yeah I don't think the technology is going to advance to allow super low latency wireless AAA VR gaming that will be available 5-10 years from now, by the time it launches.... Also even if it miraculously did the price would not be feasible for an consumer product.

 

[kyliethicc]

The Quest is wireless, but weak. Its literally the mobile gaming version of VR.

Mobile gaming is wireless, sure. But pales in comparison to the fidelity and experience of wired home console gaming on PS5.

Sony will be aiming to deliver the same gap in experience between PS5VR and Quest as there is between a PS5 and a smartphone.

This. Wireless also would increase the cost of it and require a battery.

One single USB-C is fine. The current PSVR mk2 I have has one single cord and it's never an issue unless sitting down and even then rarely.

It's already available and had been for years. As has been said you can use the Quest 2 wirelessly to play PC VR.

the heck are you talking about? Have you not used a quest 2 in the last year? 100% wireless streaming from a local PC, extremely low latency and it’s completely wonderful to use. Could never ever go back to a wired connection again. Playing Half Life Alyx and walking around a super large area without fear of cords is amazing, and it’s built natively Into the quest now, not a third party software/system

No thanks, I prefer my one wire.

Huh? The Quest 2 isn’t heavy at all and the battery lasts a long time.

 

[R6Rider]

It's not very heavy, but its battery last 2-3 hours on average. To some that's enough, but to me it's not.

You can take a break from your 3D porn to charge.

Exactly!

If I can play Half Life Alyx completely wirelessly on ultra settings right now…

…why do I have to have a wired PSVR 2?

 

[reksveks]

Why do I have the feeling that some of the people that are dismissing the wireless nature of the quest 2 are the same people who dismiss VRR?

 

[Fredrik]

There are better head straps to make the weight a nonissue and you can plug in a wire if you want. Quest 2 is the real deal, Steam VR works great wirelessly. The only problem is the lack of AAA games, but that’s a VR problem more than a Quest 2 problem.

 

[Goalus]

If it really requires a cable connection, I have to question their sanity.

 

[MHubert]

Im a bit confused. I know that the headset is confirmed to have a wired connection, but: what exactly is prohibiting them to make a wireless add-on? As far as I know, the tech is there

 

[ManaByte]

The tech is there and it works beautifully thanks to the genius of Lord Carmack. There's no reason to be tethered to a box with VR in 2022. Hopefully Sony realizes that and quickly makes PSVR2 wireless before they officially reveal it.

 

[UnNamed]

Have Sony confirmed if PSVR2 is wireless this time around?

PSVR was a mess of cables, just make it with one cable this time.

 

[ManaByte]

PSVR was a mess of cables, just make it with one cable this time.

I don't think the people ok with "one cable" have really experienced true wireless room scale VR. Even with just "one cable" you'll be tripping over that and restricted in your movement when trying to walk around a 6x6 room scale VR environment.

It's like making a DualSense Pro controller, but making it wired when the technology exists and is proven for it to be wireless.

Again, PSVR hasn't been officially revealed yet so Sony has time to improve it to 2022 VR standards before they do.

 

[Hendrick's]

Wired = DOA

Quest is already better and offers the full VR experience wirelessly.

 

[Urban]

Have Sony confirmed if PSVR2 is wireless this time around?

Only 1 cable goes to the headset. Thats why u have the Typ c port on the front of the console

 

[Zero7]

make a wired and wireless version with a $100 price difference, I'd happily pay the extra for wireless

 

[MHubert]

My thoughts as well. I honestly believe that when Sony says that PSVR2 is wired, it will be wired as is, and that a wireless option will be available for an additional fee. Which is a smart move to keep the costs down for the headset. A bit dated, but I remember this article touching on the subject.

Not sure right now but I think it was confirmed to have a single USB cable. And it was rumored that some time later after launch they'd release an add-on to make it wireless.

 

[KiteGr]

If Sony want this VR thing to catch on, Sony needs to allow you to buy 3rd party headsets.
Being able to choose your headset, and use it on othe devices as well would be a huge boon on the concept, whos biggest issue is the price.

 

[LimanimaPT]

I don't get this wireless obssession.

 

[Kev Kev]

Wired = DOA

i keep trying to figure this but cant get a straight answer...

so you need a PC to make the most of the quest correct?

im pretty sure you NEED a pc for other VR like oculus and vive (unless im mistaken?) but for quest you dont need a PC, but if you really want to get the most out of it you need a PC to power it, correct?

is thats the case, then that is the reason why someone like me would stick with a wired psvr2. im not a pc guy and i wont be investing inone just for vr. i will be buying a ps5 for a lot of different games, and the fact that psvr2 is coming to ps5 just sweetens the deal. so the wire isnt a big deal to me at that point.

does that make sense to those who dont understand why some of us are okay with the wire? i hope this post isnt coming off as facetious because im not trying to be. just from everything ive looked up, you can play the quest without a PC, but its not nearly the high quality experience everyone is describing without a pc to help it out. am i missing something here?

 

[Hendrick's]

for quest you dont need a PC, but if you really want to get the most out of it you need a PC to power it, correct?

Correct

I wouldn’t put PSVR 2, up on a pedestal as if it were the Vive 3 or Index 2. It has to be affordable. Wireless is amazing and should be available as it’s the best way to experience VR. Oculus’s wireless VR tech is incredible and works very well as I’ve used it many times. Sony would be stupid not to at least try to implement it.

 

[ManaByte]

A wireless VR virgin would say such a thing.
