Many may think that Sony forgot the PS VR2 at the barbecue due to the low adoption of the device, but it seems that the Japanese giant has not given up on its venture in the virtual reality market and is working on implementing a new feature for the device: tracking of the bread movement without needing the controls.
Currently, to be able to play PS VR2 titles, you need to use a DualSense or a pair of PS VR2 controllers. Although the PS VR2 controllers have a built-in finger tracker, it looks like Sony is taking this hand tracking technology a step further.
Currently available on some PC VR kits, hand tracking means you can play without needing to hold any controllers, with the software recording your hand positioning and gestures to interact. The technology is very similar to the late Xbox Kinect.
