Oculus is preparing new controllers for its virtual reality
In one of the latest firmware updates for the VR headset Oculus Quest there were hints of a brand new type of controller that Oculus is working on. It bears the (most likely working) designation "Oculus Jedi” and should be a brand new control system that Oculus will use to equip its planned headset codenamed “Del Mar”. The new controller should bring several major improvements compared to the current one (pictured below). While this novelty will offer the same controls (as well as their layout) as the current Touch, it will get an improved tracking system and the associated hardware that should make it scanning new driver much more accurate. It should also receive improvements battery life or the haptic response of the controller, which Sony and Microsoft are focusing on for example for their upcoming consoles, or drivers for them. The new Oculus controller is rumored to be more similar to a VR headset controller Valve Index, which is also the biggest competition for Oculus.
Sony has announced when the long-awaited title The Last of Us 2 will be released
PlayStation owners are eagerly awaiting the official release of the long-awaited (and also severally delayed) title The Last of Us 2 from the developer studio Naughty Dog. The climax of the story will finally happen this year in summer, specifically, the official release is scheduled for June 19. It happened a few weeks ago k move away release, which was defended by the fact that the developers need a little more time to ensure that the resulting experience for everyone is of the same quality and without any major complications. However, in addition to information about the release date, other information about the game appeared on the website, which will not be so positive (at least for some). A relatively large number saw the light of day spoilers in the form of videos and texts directly from the game, which are very revealing story the second part. So if you're visiting reddit or other community forums while eagerly anticipating the arrival of the second installment for the story's denouement, be careful what you read.

SpaceX has reached another big milestone
A rocket module prototype called the Starship of SpaceX. Prototype number 4 (SN4) survived (unlike its predecessors) refueling with liquid nitrogen as part of the so-called cryogenic and pressure test. During it, it is filled into the fuel tanks liquid nitrogen, which tests the structural integrity of both the tanks as such and the entire fuel system. After three unsuccessful attempts, which always ended with the prototype exploding, everything finally went smoothly. The tanks were pressurized to almost fivefold values of normal atmospheric pressure, i.e. to a value that corresponds to the normal operating load. Following the successful test, the whole test scenario is moving forward, and by the end of the week the company wants SpaceX to test the first ever static ignition of the new rocket. If this test also goes without problems, Starship is waiting for its first test "flight", during which the prototype will travel about 150 meters. However, SpaceX still does not have permission for that. Spaceship is the upper stage of the two-part design that SpaceX wants to use for space travel requiring the transport of people and cargo. The first stage is the Super Heavy module, which should put the upper module into orbit. In both cases, these should be reusable modules, as SpaceX does with current modules Falcon.
