Very first noticed by Exputer. Sony has filed an application to patent a new gen controller that can stimulate temperature based upon game scenarios. The application suggests that commonly they use plastic supplies for their controller which is difficult to deform, but now they will use a distinct “elastically deformable” material that can channel temperature feedback.

This new deformable sensor can detect when the players deform the controller by squeezing, rubbing and twisting it. The application also states that the new “temperature handle apparatus” will make the controller hotter or cooler based on the gameplay situation and player’s response.

The actual notion behind this technologies is to simulate our hormonal expression when gaming by means of artificial sensors. This technologies will offer extra enriching gaming expertise.

The patent filing reads, “As for the temperature aspect, a single instance integrated in the filling is mixing a sealed gas bubble in advance into the elastic member. The circuit section in the controller would then have a temperature handle apparatus like a Peltier element. This would in term handle the gas volume in the bubble and transform the shape of the elastic member.”

The file also laments the notion of applying a mixture of “magnetic fluid” and electrical fields to transform the shape and rigidity of the soft components of this conceptual controller.

Sony is seeking for new strategies to give players extra haptic expertise in games. On the other hand the existing situation suggests that the theoretical controller is nevertheless on paper and has to make a extended journey to turn out to be a customer solution which is not anticipated in one more 3 years. But if this controller can provide these above stated capabilities then it can handle a separate fan-base with their new immersive controller collection.

Nonetheless, it is a extremely intriguing patent Sony filed, and worth maintaining an eye for new updates on this. Hot and cold DualSense will be the new game changer.
