Ever since Sony announced that it is working on the second variant of the Virtual Reality headset, the PlayStation VR2, the hype has been crazy. Fans have been excited ever since and with each new leak, the PlayStation VR2 keeps getting interesting.

We already knew that the PlayStation VR2 would enable Eye tracking, but it is now confirmed that Sony is collaborating with the Swedish eye-tracking company Tobii to make this feature available.

Tobii was already in talks with Sony to provide the eye-tracking technology for PlayStation VR2, but a press release on Tobii’s official website today confirmed it. Anand Srivatsa, the CEO of Tobii stated,

“PlayStation VR2 establishes a new baseline for immersive virtual reality (VR) entertainment and will enable millions of users across the world to experience the power of eye tracking.

Further stating, 

“Our partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) is continued validation of Tobii’s world-leading technology capabilities to deliver cutting-edge solutions at mass-market scale.”  

This is not the first time for Tobii in the virtual reality scene, as they have done several projects with other companies as well, and we can only imagine it being better with the PSVR2.

The PlayStation VR for PlayStation 4 was Sony’s first virtual reality headset. Although the virtual reality headset performed well, it did not live up to the great expectations that were placed on it. Since the PlayStation VR2 has many additional features and is a significant improvement over the PSVR, we hope that it achieves great success.

Although the official release date for the PlayStation VR2 has not been revealed yet, it is expected to arrive in early 2023. 

We are eagerly anticipating the PlayStation VR2 and are hoping it will live up to our expectations. Until then, we’ll keep an eye out for any fresh information regarding the PSVR2.
