Revolutionary Cloud Gaming Projector in the Works by Sony

Sony Interactive Entertainment has recently unveiled a patent for a potential system that would enable gamers to play cloud games remotely using just a controller and a projector. This patent is part of Sony's ongoing efforts to gain a competitive advantage in the gaming industry, as evidenced by their numerous recent patent filings. It signifies Sony's increasing interest in the cloud gaming market, an area where the company aims to strengthen its offerings and catch up with competitors such as Microsoft's Game Pass. Additionally, Sony is also focusing on improving its presence in other areas, such as VR gaming, where their current offering, the PS VR2, has faced challenges in terms of sales compared to its predecessor.

Now, Sony has filed a new patent that reveals a potential system for remote play utilizing a local projector. This innovative technology would enable gamers to effortlessly stream games from the cloud directly onto a projector, eliminating the need for a console or a traditional screen. The patent outlines that the accompanying controller would incorporate a motion sensor, operate wirelessly, and seamlessly integrate with the projector.

Sony's latest patent indicates a growing interest in cloud streaming, aligning with the company's recent announcements. PS Plus Premium subscribers will soon have access to cloud streaming for PS5 games. Currently, only games from previous platforms are available for streaming via the cloud on Sony's console, but efforts are being made to enhance this feature.

In addition to this patent, Sony has also filed for another technology that could potentially compete with Apple Vision Pro. This new product focuses on Augmented Reality (AR) technology and targets a different market segment than the PS VR2. However, it is still in the early stages of development, making it uncertain if it will be released in the near future.
