Sony demos new head tracking system for PS3 at GDC 2008 |
Ó
The video below shows a demo taken during the Game Developers Conference 2008 of how Sony's head tracking system was able to make a more streamlined version of Johnny Lee's concept. Doing away with any extra peripherals like infrared gloves, the PlayStation Eye does a commendable job of tracking a person's movements with the head tracking VR desktop application featured.
This opens the question whether or not Sony will be integrating this system with any games in the near future. This could even possibly turn into a whole new gaming genre altogether. While Sony is still deciding what to make of this new technology, we'll all have to be content with watching the head tracking demo in action below.

Whoa, Hold on, Do I understand that right? You ONLY need the Playstation Eye? That is absolutely amazing! Imagine this integrated in Blu-Ray movies where you can stop the movie and change the angle or better, integrated in games... If this will be really integrated, then F*k about Wii's "innovative" gaming experience...(I don't really mean it bad, so please no comments about fanboyism, Wii is great nevertheless)
Video not accessable
Amazing! Can't believe the way it follows the guy's head without missing track! This is gonna rock in developers use this technology ALREADY AVAILABLE in future games !!! :D
i thought this is what a ps eye already did. what has it been used for before this? i thought the point of it was to track movements.
It tracks a solid moving object. However in this video we clearly see it tracking MULTIPLE objects at a much more accurate rate then ever before. This allows the software to know in what direction your head is pointing and moving. That's never been done before with the PSE.
Amazing!! Looks like Nintendo is up for some serious competition in the innovation department, since the PSE is doing some crazy stuff.
Its insane huh? I love the PSeye! It's so simple and works like a f'n charm ALL THE TIME! AND it's like $30. I can't even begin to think what they could do with it in unison with the motion sensor tech in the controllers! :D
find this amazing but kinda creepy none the less...
Make a good point here, but give Nintendo credit for doing something new, while 360 nothing at all. Its like all they did was update a couple of things and say its next gen. While both PS3 and Wii took risks with there console and it benefited them. Well now its benefiting PS3.
