Sony has created a new patent that aims to improve gamers’ posture, which could eliminate uncomfortable gaming if used correctly. This is likely related to the PSVR 2, with the patent describing its aim to eliminate “awkward limb positions.”
Sony patent aims to fix gamers’ posture
The patent states that “a game intervention server may evaluate, based on learning models, posture, and physical motions for players for repetitive, unbalanced, or excessive motions, as well as gameplay quality patterns” which implies that the patent may involve iterative technology, meaning that the technology learns and adapts according to the user.
The patent goes on to state that “gameplay of some presently available interactive content titles may entail repetitive and/or unbalanced motions that may include finger movements, misaligned posture, or awkward limb positions.”
There’s no current suggestion of what technology this could be used for, but our guess would be that it could be implemented in VR technology, allowing players of the new PSVR 2 to be much more comfortable. This would reduce stress on the legs, the possibility of repetitive stress injury, and various other limb issues that could occur due to the amount you use your hands while using the sense controllers, and stress on the neck that could result from the weight of the headset.
Speaking of PSVR 2, a new update recently rolled out for the headset alongside a brand new PS5 update that makes the controllers update wirelessly.
