At CES 2025, Sony presented an innovative format for immersive gaming experience. The goal of this approach is to immerse gamers in the gaming process as much as possible, making them part of the virtual space.
The Future Immersive Entertainment Concept project in the form of a huge cube made of LED panels allows you to smell, hear sounds and fully immerse yourself in unreal worlds during games. In accordance with the selected game, the system selects smells that match the scenario context – from the freshness of forests to a dark, oppressive post-apocalypse. As an example, Sony presented a video with the process of installing equipment for a full simulation of the world of The Last of Us from Naughty Dog. Players inside the cube experience the most realistic immersion thanks to sounds, tactile feedback and smells, for example, the “aroma” of the infected. The atmosphere of the game corresponds to the laws of the physical world: the flashlight illuminates only the place where it is directed, and the weapon reacts to movements.
These innovations open up new horizons in the gaming industry, aiming to enhance immersion and make interaction with the gaming world more realistic. Sony continues to explore the potential of new technologies, striving to find optimal solutions to improve the gaming experience.
