The technical data, including 4K HDR resolution, OLED display, head detection and eye-tracking technology, make the device extremely innovative.

Players will be able to sense a character’s heart rate during moments of tension, the passage of objects grazing the character’s head or the thrust of a vehicle under acceleration.

The controllers, on the other hand, had already been unveiled, but at CES we discovered their name: “PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers.”

OneLife X Air Purifier

The OneLife X air purifier delivers clinically clean air through a dishwasher-safe filter, allowing users to breathe air free from germs, pollutants, and even the smallest dust particles.

Sustainably built with renewable materials such as recycled plastic and bamboo, the OneLife X is highly energy efficient with a low-power profile that runs absolutely silent.

Users also can control the device via Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home assistant, Apple’s Siri or via an iOS or Android app.

They can change the device’s modes, ask about the status of the filter, and inquire about indoor air quality with their voice or touch of the screen.
