Sony Patent Shows Why Full Body Move Control Would be Dangerous, Terrible

The PlayStation Move is an incredibly precise device that can track your hand movements in the 3D space at a nearly 1:1 level, but that’s also one of its biggest problems – it can only track your hands. So what about your legs?

LMFAO.

I can imagine the tons of laughs from youtube videos of PS Move fails.

Let's leave motion gaming to Bear Grylls.

Ugh, please no. This could hurt way too much.

The PS2 Eyetoy actually did a great job of body tracking with games like Antigrav and the fighting one (can't remember the name)

Belking4122d ago

eyetoy couldn't do body tracking. It used gesture recognition like the ps eye which could track your hands and head in 3d space but not full skeletal tracking.

zebramocha4122d ago

The ps eye and eye toy could do body track but not in 3d.

ftwrthtx4122d ago

It did a great job of tracking above the waist and it could follow your arms, upper torso, and head.

Isn't that body tracking?

Belking4122d ago (Edited 4122d ago )

@zebramocha
How can they track your body without being in 3d? That makes no sense.

Neither one could do FULL BODY tracking in 3d. Eye toy couldn't and PSeye could only track the illuminated orb(or hand movement) on the end the move controller. Neither one are true 3d cameras.They mostly only detect movement. They can't distinguish limb from limb. A true 3d camera scans your whole body's skeletal frame and displays it on screen.

Ps eye can do facial recognition but you have to program for it.
@ftwrthtx
No that isn't body tracking. It is basically only tracking sudden movement.

This is full body/skeletal tracking.

Kinect is a depth sensing camera and the ps eye is based off common web cams,Richard marks talked about it in the natal on ps2 video.

BitbyDeath4122d ago (Edited 4122d ago )

Unlike Kinect though PSeye can track finger movements.
As demonstrated in games like Kinetic on the PS2.

Man, you try way too hard, and are almost ALWAYS off the mark.

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos37m ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis16h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast15h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 11h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
