Accompanying the PlayStation 5, DualSense hit the market as one of the great innovations of the ninth generation of consoles. More ergonomic than its predecessor, and also featuring new features like a more powerful battery, the controller really stood out due to adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.
Now, as a new patent registered by Sony in the United States, it seems that the creator of the PlayStation wants to make its current control even more revolutionary, implementing a temperature system in the DualSense resources.
Non-DualSense temperature system
Sony intends to implement a dynamic temperature system in its control, which would be another resource for tactile feedback. With the new technology, the company wants to offer players more immersion, with sensations of cold and heat being transmitted by the control during games.
When exploring an environment, the player will be able to feel the warm climate of the region in his hands, as well as venturing on the ship in some title will have much more immersion, since the cold can be really felt. For this, Sony wants to replace the plastic of the controller’s structure with a gel-like material.
It is worth remembering that the patent registration does not mean that the system will actually be implemented in the DualSense.
Sony may be developing a portable console
Sony’s week is quite busy, as recently the public also became aware of a possible new portable console developed by the company.
According to journalist Tom Henderson, from Insider Gaming, the PlayStation creator is preparing a new portable console that will take advantage of the PlayStation 5 library and will require a constant internet connection. In the article below you will find more details about the device called Q Lite.
