Sony patents a VR controller that feels a lot like Valve’s Index

A recently published patent from Sony Interactive Entertainment suggests that the company is working on a new VR motion controller, similar to those for the Valve Index. Could this be a new PSVR 2 controller?

The patent for a “Controller Device” outlines an input mechanism for a “home-use game machine” that “detects movement of a user’s hand.” Not only that, but the kit features “a plurality of sensor units that detect the fingers of the user.” These can detect “the proximity or contact of a finger and outputs a finger detection signal indicating the state of proximity or contact of the finger.”
