When the gaming industry took its first steps into the realm of virtual reality, Oculus Rift was there as one of the very first pieces of consumer technology in 2016.

Though Luckey\u2019s first test of Sony\u2019s new model, the Oculus founder was \u201cblown away,\u201d he admitted on Twitter. Not only that, but he\u2019s bullish on the model\u2019s long-term success given its performance in this brief tech demo. \u201cThe first PS VR was arguably the biggest success of the generation,\u201d he said. \u201cThis version will do even better.\u201d Pushing VR forward in new ways, the new PlayStation unit comes with upgraded controllers utilizing DualSense features along with a revamped 4K HDR display. Not only do the advanced controllers provide haptic feedback, allowing a greater sense of immersion as you touch and feel various objects, but so too does the headset, providing vibrations to further engage players. It\u2019s through these technical improvements that Luckey was left stunned at the PS VR2 demo on the CES show floor. Fortunately, fans anxiously awaiting this revelation of their own won\u2019t have to wait much longer.
