14 DAY TRIAL // Sony seems to be working on a new type of Augmented Reality hardware that will be revealed and launched for the PlayStation 4, designed to give players a new way to experience their favorite video games.
The Official PlayStation Magazine has seen a patent for the new technology that apparently will be modular and will allow players to choose how it looks and works.
The official document states, “A block tool, which can be assembled by a user, is configured with multiple types of blocks and is shot by a camera for capturing a still image or a moving image. The position coordinates of a marker of the square-pillar block in a three-dimensional space are obtained by image recognition.”
It’s unclear whether Sony is planning to launch this AR hardware as a standalone device or if the company is also working on a title that can use it.
