PlayStation 5 Might Feature This Cool Accessory That Will Level-up Multiplayer Games

A recently discovered patent application made by Sony is currently hyping up gamers. The patent application describes an accessory that uses intricate eye-tracking to create a visual that superficially floats in the center of the room. This cool PlayStation 3D holographic accessory is rumored to be available for PlayStation 5.

The patent application further details the ins and outs of the holographic system, which, according to some reports, could be available as an optional add on accessory for the PlayStation 5. This rumored accessory is also anticipated to be compatible with other gaming consoles like Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Additionally, the tracking is very precise that it can respond to the user’s movement in just a span of milliseconds to reposition the render in line with the user’s field of view. Through this, users will no longer need to wear dedicated glasses. Aside from this feature, the accessory has a built-in face recognition created for detecting whether the second person is viewing the screen. If so, the accessory will project a 3D render directly at the second person’s eyes too.

The Japanese gaming console giant is also exploring other potential uses of the alleged PlayStation 5 accessory. In the patent application, it states that the hardware can be utilized to show a 3D image to one use and a 2D image to the other. It could mean that the 2D visual is displayed in front of the user on a flat background to create an illusion that they are in a movie theater, totally immersed.

The alleged PlayStation 5 accessory has the capacity to recognize basic gestures like a wave or a nod. The patent notes that the hardware will still require the traditional Dual Shock controller for the users to be able to play games. It is worth noting that Sony has long been working on introducing holograms to the mainstream.

In 2009, at the Digital Content Expo in Tokyo, Japan, Sony showcased its first-ever holographic display prototype. It is worth noting, however, that at this point, we do not know yet if this alleged PlayStation 5 accessory will ever find its way to the market. Giant companies like Sony often file countless patents, but only a handful make it to the consumers.
