They would include sticks and use a ring instead of the current ball to determine its position and orientation through the camera.
A new patent for Sony Entertainment it describes a type of controls that would be a considerable improvement when it comes to positioning the user. Replacing the classic illuminated sphere on the tip of the Move controllers with a kind of loop with LEDs, distributed inside and outside the ring in a total of three positions, which would allow the camera to more accurately detect the controllers at different angles.
Apart from these rings, which would provide more detailed information about our posture to the software, with the orientation and occlusion of the different lights. It presents, as a most notable change, the inclusion of analog sticks in the body of both controllers, which would facilitate the work when developing games compatible with PlayStation VR (in terms of locomotion).
Although Move is already able to offer 6dof tracking, this publication, as of this month, seems to indicate that Sony focuses its efforts on bringing the accuracy of its systems to the levels that can be offered by the competition. The patent also says that the camera, which is responsible for capturing the light of the different LEDs, could be defined by more than one device, thus opening the possibility of offering a coverage without occlusion of 360º.
