CTOnews.com, Dec. 15 (Xinhua)-- according to a list published by the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Sony has obtained a technology patent that shows that beyond the traditional handle, the company is exploring "foot controllers" that allow players to operate games with their hands and feet.

According to the patent description, the foot-operated controller uses a spherical design, and users can rotate in any direction by rolling wheels to show different game interactions.

One of the main problems of the current virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) control methods in the patent is that the motion caused by the handheld controller is limited and does not support natural motion.

In video games in the open world, the internal environment of the game is broad and can be explored, and this limitation will reduce the sense of immersion in the game.

In the patent, Sony describes the design of a variety of foot controllers, including single ball, double ball, etc., as well as a "bowl" controller that can simulate foot movements such as walking. The picture attached to CTOnews.com is as follows:
