Sony “working on a virtual reality glove”March 1, 2016 - 12:48 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Virtual reality interfaces of the near future could allow users to reach out and touch objects in the virtual world and swipe through menus with hand gestures. Sony has filed a patent for a pair of smart gloves that detect hand movement, pressure and positioning, and translate this data to a VR headset, Digital Spy reveals. Patents don't always spawn tangible products, but it's safe to assume that Sony is at least exploring the possibility of pairing PlayStation VR with glove controllers, like the ones Tom Cruise wore in Minority Report, Digital Spy said. PlayStation VR gaming relies on the existing Move wands and DualShock 4 pads right now, while rivals headsets like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift will have their own bespoke controllers. Sony's headset will follow the Vive and Oculus Rift to market later this year, with pricing and a firm release date yet to be announced. Those details are expected to be confirmed at the company's PlayStation VR event in San Francisco on March 15.
