Regardless of its sales, PlayStation VR has been a huge success for Sony this generation, with dozens of high-quality exclusive games that have gained the company a huge amount of experience with VR in general.
As such it seems impossible to imagine they wouldnt be planning a more sophisticated version for PlayStation 5, but so far theres been no evidence of that – except this very strange patent for prescription glasses.
The idea behind it is to make sure people who wear glasses can properly use VR headsets with eye gaze-tracking, something the current PlayStation VR does not have.
Wearing an extra pair of lenses can make it difficult for a headset to properly tracking the direction of your gaze, so the solution offered by the patent is for the prescription glasses own sensors to do the work instead.
