A corporate strategy video has provided a glimpse at what Sony thinks a PlayStation controller might look like in ten years time.
With thePS5 Prorumored to be just around the corner, many Sony fans are waiting to see if the console’sDualSense controllerwill also receive a well-needed upgrade. While Sony hasn’t officially announced anything alluding to a new upgradedPlayStation 5,many fans suspect it won’t be long until we catch a glimpse of what’s to come.
The unique-looking controller can be seen at a little over the halfway mark of the video. While it’s likely created using visual effects, the controller features a never-before-seen light-up ring between two sides. Unlike the current DualSense controller, the middle part of this futuristic design appears to be missing entirely, and a display is projected above.
Sony’s video didn’t stop at showcasing prospective future controllers. The footage also revealed a range of other futuristic tech, from a handheld translucent display to a compact translucent smart-phone design, the size of agaming mouse.
The futuristic tech features in a video uploaded to Sony’s official YouTube channel as part of Sony’s ‘Creative Entertainment Vision.’ This creative vision is defined by Sony as a “long-term vision” for where it wants to be in 10 years, with its “eye towards future technological advances.”
