Sony has just released a new video in which it tears down the upcoming PlayStation VR 2 system. The VR headset and its Sense controllers can be seen being taken apart revealing their internal layout and functions. So let’s have a look.
In the official teardown video, we can see that the Japanese tech giant’s Sense controllers are equipped with IR LEDs. The orb shaped controller houses a ring of 14 IR LEDs and three that are placed in the other areas for better tracking. According to Takeshi Igarashi, DualSense controller designer, “These infrared lights are used by the VR headset’s tracking camera to detect the controller’s position and orientation”.
He further explained in the video that “The LEDs have been placed in optimal locations to ensure they are accurately detected no matter what direction the controller is facing,” and that the cover on the controllers are also made of material that ” transmits the infrared light emitted internally to track the movement of the controller.” The video also shows the five capacitive touch sensors on the controller.
Breaking down the headset itself, we get a glimpse of the inside of the headset. This also reveals what it looks like when you turn the adjustment dial. Sony also added that one should not try teardown by yourself. The company stated that taking apart the headset or controllers will invalidate the warranty. The PS VR2 is set to launch on 22nd February 2023.
