Apple Vision Pro to Support PlayStation VR2 Controllers
Apple's Vision Pro headset currently lacks dedicated VR gaming controllers, hindering its appeal to gamers. While compatible with PS5 and Xbox controllers, it doesn't support VR-specific grip accessories. This oversight might stem from Apple not primarily viewing Vision Pro as a gaming device.
However, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple is collaborating with Sony to integrate support for the PlayStation VR2 controllers into Vision Pro. This is a complex undertaking as Sony currently only sells these controllers bundled with the VR2 headset. This collaboration would necessitate Sony packaging and shipping the controllers as standalone products, which Apple would then sell in its retail stores and online, similar to the Sony DualSense controller.

Beyond gaming, the VR2 controllers could enhance Vision Pro's interface navigation, offering an alternative to the eye-tracking system. This could improve usability for those finding the current interface challenging. Explore advancements in AI and gaming technology.
While this move is positive, it's unlikely to single-handedly transform Vision Pro's gaming prospects. Attracting more game developers to the platform remains crucial for Apple's success in this market. Learn about Amazon's initiatives in AI development.
