In exactly two weeks, consumers from around the world will finally be able to get their hands on the PS5. Within the last year especially, Sony has revealed quite a lot about its next-generation console, such as its specs, design, and price; all of which are integral pieces of information for consumers to know. However, it seems that Sony may have a few more surprises in store in terms of the PS5.
In the last two years especially, Sony has filed a number of patents for various reasons, and every time the company does so, it usually can lead itself back to the PS5 in some capacity. That being said, it’s important to note that not all patents ultimately translate to what fans assume it to be. For example, last year a patent was filed presumably to provide backward compatibility with all PlayStation consoles, when in actuality, the PS5 was only backward compatible with PS4 games.
The latest patent that Sony has filed appears to be in reference to auto HDR technology. Auto HDR is already featured on the Xbox Series X, but the feature didn’t appear to be present on the PS5. Although, this patent could potentially change that.
For those that don’t know, auto HDR, or high dynamic range imaging, is used in photography, films, and ray-traced computer-generated imaging, to produce a wider range of luminosity that just can’t be achieved with standard digital imaging. Auto HDR was actually implemented on the PS4 Pro version of Spider-Man back when the game first released.
As of right now, Sony has yet to respond to any of this and it seems unlikely that the company will until either the console has been released or until Sony actually implements this supposed auto HDR feature. Given how long it took for Sony to finally show off the PS5’s UI, it’s safe to assume that the company wishes to provide fans with extra surprises once the console releases.
In any case, it will be interesting to see if this patent actually leads to auto HDR being featured on the PS5. Given the cavalcade of patents Sony has filed, some of them strange if anything else, the auto HDR patent does seem to be a likely implementation. At least more likely than the robotic gaming companion whose patent Sony had presumably filed. Only time will tell if auto HDR tech makes its way onto the PS5.
The PS5 is set to launch on November 12th, 2020.
