PlayStation R&D Head Outlines ‘Next-Gen’ VR Headsets: Increased Resolution, Wider FOV, HDR, Wireless, Eye-Tracking

Of all of the major VR headsets on the market today, Sony’s PSVR stands to gain the most from an upgrade. But what might we see in a next-generation PSVR? Senior vice president of R&D at Sony, Dominic Mallinson, has some ideas, and they’re pretty exciting.

Mallison held a session at the Collision 2019 in Toronto this week, as covered by VentureBeat. There he talked about what to expect from the next generation of VR headsets. To be clear, he didn’t specifically confirm the features in question would appear in the unannounced PSVR 2. That said, this is likely as good an indicator of what you’ll see in the headset we’ve yet seen.

There hasn't been any indication of a PSVR 2 but they probably are working on one. There is also an article about a patent for VR controllers.

New PSVR Controllers May Include Trigger Resistance, Hand Detection

Would not surprise me if this comes out with the PS5 since the hardware upgrade will make it easier to run.
