Sony hasn't forgotten about PSVR2 after all, as it appears to be developing new features for its virtual reality tech.

Currently, in order to play PSVR2 games, you need to use either a DualSense pad or a pair of PSVR2 Sense controllers, depending on the title. While the latter has built-in finger tracking, it looks like Sony is taking that a step further with full hand tracking technology.

Already a feature on some PC VR kits, hand tracking means you can play games without the need to hold any controllers at all, with the software registering the positioning and gestures of your hands in order to interact.

Sony has been demoing PSVR2's hand tracking feature, captured below at tech exhibition Siggraph Asia 2024:

The demo has participants playing a cleaning minigame, using only their hands to spray water and cleanse the characters. The hand tracking tech is described as "smooth" and "low latency", displaying the onscreen hands at 60 frames per second.

It's hard to tell how far along this is, and whether the tech will be implemented into PSVR2 games, but it's at least encouraging to see Sony continue to invest in virtual reality.
