After PS3, Cell microprocessor moves on to new endeavor |
Ó
Japan's largest consumer electronics show, CEATEC, serves as launching platform for most innovative products. This year, Toshiba proudly presents its multicore Cell microprocessor. In case you haven't been paying attention to details enough, this very same methanol type fuel cell is responsible for powering the PlayStation3.As the release of Sony's next-gen console is very much just around the corner, Toshiba needed to come up with a new use for their creation. This time, the Tokyo-based electrical and electronics manufacturing firm has adapted the chip for use in a motion capturing system. What's remarkable with the system is that it does away with the traditional marker and sensor method.
Dubbed as "Markerless Motion Capture SHADOW," the system instead captures the motion in real time by just using a standard camera. However, a lag of one second or so is noticeable while the data is being processed. As this new application is very much in the experimental stage, the spotted minor glitch will not be a source for dismay.

...the new eyetoy.
Yeah your right. The PS3 will probably launch there new eyetoy using that technology next year. This will blow away the Wii competition since you wont necessarily need a "ninchuck" controller... you'll be able to use a stick for a sword or what ever lol
Imagine the possibilities...
peace
I know! Chuck Norris had eaten a cell processor!
