Sony prepping motion tech to top Natal

"It's the Vision 2009 tradeshow in Stuttgart, Germany this week, and Sony was on hand showing off some funky new tech making use of its cameras. It's a Minority Report style panel that responds to every gesture and lets you juggle windows around with simple flicks. It's so smooth, we wish we could have this instead of the Motion Control wand for the PS3!"

Natal is gonna revolutionise the way we play and theres so many developers who are gonna make AAA games for it. Sonys wand is wii motion plus but will have better graphics.

"developers who are gonna make AAA games for it"

they should make AAA games for the console it self first

First part resembles Microsoft Surface, which also works with camera's.

Second part.... we probably all have seen the playstation eye doing more interesting stuff than that.

No 3-D motion capturing, so I don't really see any reason why to mention natal, they might as well said motion tech to stop Microsoft live vision camera or surface.

This is actually a newer build of something Sony had around 5 years ago. Originally, you would place these glass squares onto the panel and each would represent information just by being in contact with the base itself. That was quite cool, just like this is.

I'm not too sure why anyone would want this as the motion control for the PS3.
It is quite ethereal at best for overall gaming purposes and would cost a fortune. I'm pretty sure the PS3 'Sphere' is the way to go for Sony in regards to motion control.

Anyways, the PSEye has some good tech of its own:

You are right, but better put an analogue stick instead of using the DS3, It'll be really annoying to use the 2 things, Sony has to make it more simple

About natal, I think is not going anywhere, is good tech, but for example imagine play a fps with natal and you have tu run, where you going to play, in a stadium? lol, really need space to move

And even without a certain frequency of light being tracked the symbol tracking is very impressive.

My mum was freaked out by the drawing replications though :P

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
