Next Generation Eye Toy?

SCE has submitted a pattern (number 2006-178948) for a new motion capture technology believed to make up a next generation Eye Toy controller.

Basically, a camera will recognize every move and position of an object and will translate these actions accordingly to an object inside a game. Via this new technology, the 2D camera is analyzing an object in full 3D through a patented mapping technique.

Until now, more than one camera was needed to capture an object's movement in 3D. This patent could turn out to be should be the next generation of Eye Toy, expected to debut on PS3 some time next year.

This is a good example of sony's innovations in making games more living than waving a useless controller.

[achira]

[THELANDSOFSAND]

god damn, they could just make money from suing sony for copying them!

lol

[Karibu]

That'd be so cool.

[bizzy12]

ok the same thing as the 360 camera do but with face maping technology and gesture tech.sony still stealing technology to stay a float

[kingboy]

stealing what..who was the first to bring cameras like this on a console?u just post crap that really don`t make sense

[THELANDSOFSAND]

the software, not the camera.

[Karibu]

you get more pathetic with every comment you make.

[THELANDSOFSAND]

lol

at least my comments have a point you goon!

its not my fault that sony have to rip off all their competition instead of innovating with the PS3. THAT'S pathetic.

[Aflac]

THIS IS AN EXACT COPY OF THE 360 VISION CAM!!! BLASPHEMY!

[Karibu]

Ms copied Sony. but sony fans didn't get all mad about it and cried it to their moms.

[Schmitty07]

We all knew how that took off on the PS2 and how cool the games were for it.

Same goes for the 360 vision cam

[Marty8370]

#8 - If Eye Toy/2 are nothing special,why are M$ using the idea for the X360 Vision Cam.

[Schmitty07]

I'm talking from my point of view

[THE TRUTH]

How the hell is Sony "STEALING" from M$? PS2 made the eye toy what it is for gamers and a Next-Gen Eye-toy was a given. In this case I would say Sony was just given gamers what they wanted and M$ did not want to be leftout. How can Sony copy something that they made work in the first place? 360 is a great consloe but some of you M$ fanboy's are given M$ WAY TOO MUCH CREDIT. Just enjoy your damn 360 and stop post ignorant opinions as facts, it's old and childish plus it does nothing but discredit us gamers and this site.

[sparco]

Do you mean patent? lol. Or am i getting confusled wit something here? lol

[Aflac]

they have been working with cameras for years. No, MS was not the first to bring cameras to consoles, but at least THEY DIDNT COPY WHAT SONY USED EYETOY FOR. MS WAS THE FIRST TO PLAN ON FACE MAPPING AND MAKING POSSIBLE "VIRTUAL REALITY" OPTIONS WHICH IS WHAT SONY IS COPYING!

[Karibu]

Did you watch that toshiba cell demo??
It' from last year!! Did you watch Sony pre E3 2005 press?? Did you see the duck demo where they used glasses to take and toss water??

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

Give it a go them xrats are just too funy. They will probably say soon that MS was the first to bring out a console and games so anybody who produce a console and games will be sued by MS ROFLMFAO this kiddos are just too funny :-D

[THELANDSOFSAND]

the only original thing about the PS3 is the blu-ray and it's cost!

[specialguest]

I'm waiting for the day when I can digitally map my face with the eyetoy and apply it to for any game that allows customization of characters. My ugly mug is gonna freak people out.

[Optimus Prime]

ms didnt copy the eyetoy. with the eye toy you get to act like in donkey kong, that sure seems fun. i still love how xbug is refering to people as xrats, xbugs. are you faucking 3 or 4. what the heck are you saying. just call them fanboys, man that is just stupid, come up with something that didnt come out of a 3 year olds mouth.

[Say's you]

Microsoft Was the one that copied Sony on that one this time you Xbox 360 fans can never get your "facts" straight assuming that you guy's got any facts at all knowing that you guy's don't! so shut the hell up

even THELANDOFSAND is so stupid in each way that he already has forgotten that technology was already invented by Sony what a couple of "dumbasse's!" you guy's can't prove sh1t!

the first EyeToy was on PS2 and is still being made to this day even on the new system so technically THELANDOFSAND your a total dumbass!.
