One of the most interesting peripherals offered to Playstation 2 owners was the “EyeToy” which saw only minor support from developers despite the potential to reinvent gaming. Upon the release of the Playstation 3, the EyeToy found itself renamed the “Playstation Eye” and is now a key component for the Playstation Move. The concept behind these devices is for the player to engage in an “augmented reality,” which essentially offers the player the ability to interact with objects on the television screen without a physical counterpart. Playstation 3 owners saw a limited number of Eye games prior to the release of the Playstation Move. While these titles include Tori-Emaki, Mesmerize and The Trials of Topoq, the majority of these games prove to be little more than demonstrations for high definition televisions or offer very basic interaction. The creators at Virtual Air Guitar Company sought to break this mold and created a real-time fighting game.
