The “Break it Down” Blog

Ted Regulski just sent this hot news in, when you watch the video below, don’t make the same mistake I did and pass by this thinking it’s essential Nintendogs without a touch screen. It looks like Sony is finally doing something with the PlayStation Eye, in the form of motion/object recognition.

I believe there were some PlayStation Eye apps that let you play with fish and paint, but with the announcement recently by Sony that going to accomplish what Nintendo had been trying to accomplish for 2 years (1:1 motion tracking) and completely without any accelerometers or gadgets, but just with the simple PlayStation Eye camera; now it looks like Sony is dead serious about this HCI stuff using the Eye and not requiring any 3rd party peripherals to help out… pretty damn interesting when you consider games like EyePet are more or less a tech demo of what could be done with bigger titles, API support and enhanced PS3 developer tools.

Maybe Metal Gear Solid 5 will let us choke people to death for real?

Thanks Joystiq!
