After the melting snow platform section down the river, on the right side you can see two Bots by a door with a Bot further on in a lab coat.

Eye tracking also allows for foveated rendering, where areas you aren’t looking at will not be given priority in order to optimize game performance. The HD Camera follows in the footsteps of the PlayStation Camera, PS Eye and EyeToy before it.

It’s also the first PlayStation camera that, via the PS5’s software, can remove the background behind the player. The PS VR Processor Unit was a box that both the PlayStation 4 and PSVR connected to.

In the second pink field area you’ll find a large rabbit-like robot jumping over the play area. It holds the Guiness World Record as the first platform video game in true 3D, beating out Super Mario 64 by an entire year.
Nearby the Horizon easter egg is an island with a bot making a blocky T. This references 2020’s Dreams on PS4, developed by Media Molecule.

This is taken from the PlayStation Eye for PS3, which is itself unlockable in the Bot Beach level of Cooling Springs. In the PlayStation Labo area below the entryway is a device that lets you view all your Artefacts up close. The device is a PocketStation, a peripheral for the PS1 that was part Memory Card.
