CTOnews.com, February 15 (Xinhua)-- Sony today released an official video of PlayStation VR2 disassembly, which shows that the PS VR2 head display can track the matching Sense handle, thanks to a pile of infrared LED hidden in the spherical handle.

The disassembly video shows that under the lid of the Sense handle, the handle itself has a circle of 14 infrared LED lights, and three are placed elsewhere for location tracking. " These infrared lights are used by the VR head tracking camera to detect the position and direction of the handle, "Sony's Igarashi Fumihiko Wu, who is also the designer of the DualSense handle, explained in the video," the LED is placed in the best position to ensure that it can be accurately detected no matter which direction the handle is facing. The lid on the handle is even made of a Tex material that can track the movement of the handle through the infrared light emitted from the inside. "

The Sense disassembly video also shows five capacitive touch sensors on the handle, including adaptive trigger components that work like DualSense, and even tiny PlayStation button icon impressions on the handle.

For the disassembly of the head show itself, Takashi Araki, the chief designer of PSVR2 and the original PSVR, is adept at removing the front and headband of the head show. Around 6:07, you can see what the inside of the head looks like when you turn the lens adjustment dial. It also shows head-displayed eye tracking, with an infrared LED around each lens, and an infrared camera that can capture light from the LED. These functions work together to track the movement of the user's eyes.

However, Sony warned that users should not disassemble the PSVR2 themselves, which would invalidate the warranty.

CTOnews.com has learned that the Sony PS VR2 will go on sale globally simultaneously on February 22, with a market suggested retail price of 4499 yuan for Chinese mainland, including PlayStation VR2 headsets, PlayStation VR2 Sense handles and stereo headphones.
