Play PS3 with an iOS device

The idea sounds kind of screwy, but when you see it in action it's actually pretty cool. Pandaelf sent us at Destructoud a video demonstrating how they've put together a rig that lets them play PS3 games through an iOS device. Very long story short, video is sent to the PS3 to the iPhone (or iPad, or iPod), and at the same time input commands are sent from the iPhone to the PS3. It requires a video capture device, an input device or two and some software hacking. If it's all done right, you'll get to tap on the screen to make Kratos attack, or tap a menu item to start a game.

so they basically did remote play which is already on PSP BUT they added the ability of you actually playing games with it ??
nice

Your comment is hilarious but c'mon, drawing a triangle? Have you ever played GOW3 on Titan mode. Not practical; cool though.

Welp, time to buy an iTouch...

Sweet. Hopefully some hacker would add PS3 remote support via Bluetooth.

[captain-obvious]

this is not a hack

[George Sears]

I know it's not a hack.

That sound complicated as hell. Why not just wait for the NGP?

[yewles1]

It's just a form of remote play/cloud...

[gravemaker]

useless

[NaiNaiNai]

Just like head tracking.

Oh wait.....that was hyped as hell on GT5.

Odd.

You can do this much easier using a slingbox and the logitech harmony IR->bluetooth adapter. There is a custom remote file already for slingplayer that has the ps3 controls for the logitech harmony mapped.

This is useless for anything but strategy/rpg/coach games and of course anything else you want to do on the XMB.
