I'm sure it is, and if you look at the patent history you can clearly see what direction it's going in. And keep in mind that the number one thing about PSVR is accessibility in price. It's more important that it's affordable than it has the fanciest features. They need to make it functional comfortable and affordable. It doesn't need to be a professional solution.

Yeah there is no if. They have already remarked on its development. They also said it wasn't right to push the hardware until after the PS5 launch.

I agree with every point made in the article except the point on setup. I don't find the PSVR setup to be difficult at all. Sometimes I move my ps4 from my bedroom to the living room from time to time and it takes a whole five minutes.

BC with psvr1 !!! Pro even renders PSVR games in higher res and scales down, so there will be no problem to have much better clarity with better headset.

Backwards compatibility is a must with first gen titles.

It absolutely needs to be wireless and use inside out tracking. Since I got Oculus Quest, I've only set up PSVR one time. It's such a hassle and I feel like it's only worth it if I know I have several uninterrupted hours to play. Quest on the other hand is viable in basically any room at any time.

100% agree. i would also add adaptive optics so glasses users don't need to wear them anymore.

This would be awesome. I have a very mild lazy eye (not the medical term, but it's the one everyone knows, haha) which I wear glasses for, which is not great for VR. Typically I don't wear them with VR because I don't want to scratch the headset's lenses, but then I end up straining my eyes pretty hard or frequently closing one eye (although in shooters that actually makes sense at times anyway). If I could resolve this by angling the lenses in the headset, it would be amazing.

Higher screen resolution for sure would be needed. 1080p looks fine on a TV, but when viewed up close in a VR headset, it doesn’t look so great.

May as well have titled it "6 Improvements PSVR 2 Needs."

Sony's got it covered. They know what they need to do.

Make it wireless please the amount of cables that need to be plugged in is ridiculous.

In my opinion it needs;
1- Less cords
2- A way to make it cooler to wear. Allow more airflow or something.
3- Smaller
4- Better ways to seal out external lights
5- Higher resolution (eliminate the screen door)
6- HDR in the headset. Those colors need to pop in there. Sometimes things look dim.
