It's when conversation begins to circulate about next generation hardware that we start to see concept art from designers, whether professional or not. French designer Joseph Dumary has released a few images of what he thinks the PlayStation 5 will look like, and gives some detail on how it will work, too.

Dumary's PS5 design is fully wireless, using Air HDMI to send the picture to your TV over the airwaves. In its Eco Mode, the console will consume no electricity when in standby or when navigating menus. His DualShock design has a bulkier build and features a curved touchscreen at the centre, where you'll be able to access things like notifications and messages, as well as make purchases with your fingerprint.

The controller will be permanently charged via wireless charging technology maintaining a constant connection to the main box. It'll also have a "Stress Sensor" built into it, which will affect gameplay. The more stressed you are, the worse your in-game character will perform.

There's more on Dumary's portfolio, which you can view through the link. Of course, it's not a very realistic take on things, but it's fun to imagine what form the PS5 will take, and suggest some farfetched built-in technology.
