Thanks to a Dutch LetsGoDigital article, the PlayStation VR2 patent has been leaked, touting not one but three built-in cameras and possibly even wireless capabilities. As more updates on next-gen consoles are revealed, such as the recently announced  PlayStation 5 release window, it's clear gamers won't have to wait much longer for the future to be in their hands.

Or, in this case, for gamers to see the future for themselves.

In the picture above, which taken from the leaked PlayStation VR 2 patent, 1210 and 1220 point out multiple cameras on the headset, including two in the front and another on the back. There also seems to be no external wiring present, though that could be for portrayal purposes. The approved utility patent also displayed various options to choose from in terms of overall setup, lending a whole new outlook on VR comfortably, an element that is sorely lacking in present products. This new iteration will also follow players more fluidly.

If the three headset cameras weren't enough, Sony is also adding even more to the Move controller, which will have better functionality in line with the revamped VR system. The integrated Move controller cameras are meant to improve in-game movement and target new features. Sony is even including an additional camera to improve upon the headset's HMD (head-mounted display) movement.

One of the features teased in the patent is the "transparent mode." The VR2's transparency support will work in tandem with the game so that players can still see their surrounding environment before entering that virtual dreamscape. This addition will also expound upon not only Augmented Reality possibilities, but also Mixed Reality. The VR2 patent also alluded to the option of two displays, one for each eye, which could lead to 3D stereoscopic images and support for 3D PlayStation games.

Although Sony's previous VR iteration didn't do as well as Sony may have hoped, it still seems to be interested in the reality-bending headset hardware. It's far too soon to tell if the VR2 will stand out more than its predecessor, but with Nintendo now diving into the ring, one thing is certain: virtual reality isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

While Microsoft and Google have moved on to cloud streaming capabilities (of which Sony does offer with PS Now), the Japanese-based manufacturer still holds reservations on the fundamentality of VR technology. With a myriad of VR games on the horizon, it makes sense that Sony wants to up the ante for its newest (and most up-to-date) hardware. The PS5 will combat climate change, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear the VR2 adopt a similar reach.

Be prepared to enter the virtual world by 2020's holiday season.
