Apple and Sony are said to be in talks to combine the power of Vision Pro with the PSVR2 controller. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is said to be working on adding PSVR2 controller support for the Vision Pro and would even begin selling the controllers in its stores, which currently aren’t available for purchase as an individual product and only come bundled with the PSVR2.
This development comes as a result of Sony working on adding PSVR2 controller support for the Vision Pro. Apple has also sought input from developers about this potential collaboration. If everything goes as expected, Vision Pro users will soon be able to pair a PSVR2 controller and transform Apple’s first spatial computer into a gaming device.
The report further highlights that the functionality of the PSVR2 controller paired with a Vision Pro won’t just be limited to gaming. Users will also be able to use the precise input from the controller to access services like Final Cut Pro, Adobe Photoshop, and other apps that need precise input. Currently, Vision Pro supports gesture controls, where users can wave their hands in the air, which will be captured by various sensors and cameras packed inside the headset, eliminating the need for an external controller.
Although one can currently pair most Bluetooth controllers with the Vision Pro and use them for navigation, the PSVR2 controller will have much tighter integration, where it could gain special functionalities. It will also help Apple pitch the Vision Pro as a high-fidelity mixed-reality gaming headset.
For now, it is not clear how much the standalone PSVR2 controller will cost, but this addition could be a big boost to the gaming experience on the Apple Vision Pro.
