PlayStation Eye Is The Future Of Game Control

At the Nordic Game conference in Sweden last week, LocoRoco creator Tsutomu Kouno expressed indifference on motion sensing controllers. When asked on potentially creating a title for the Wii, he "didn't have much interest." Kouno-san seemed far more impressed with the technological possibilities of a peripheral like the PlayStation Eye, conjuring its controller possibilities. Harkening Minority Report similarities, he imagines playing a game "using hands, without even touching the controller."

2 - Now THAT is cool!

If they had a PS3 game you could do that in, it would be truley next gen and defo a reason for 360 owners like me to consider getting the PS3. More ways to interact with games is crucial, the motion sensor in the Eye along with voice recognition could produce some truley immersive games.

I stated my opinion a while ago that the Eyetoy is a far more accurate motion controller than either the 6axis or the Wiimote. Imagine a game like Red Steel that doesn't just swing your onscreen sword in a preanimated direstion, triggered by a wave of the controller, but actually tracking exactly where your holding a sword handle to give precise movement and rotation of the sword. Remember the demo with the 2 glasses tipping water between them? This is highly accurate motion tracking.

Well, considering the recent news about the OS footprint and Sony "saving room for really advanced features" in the future, that's exactly what I'm thinking too.

6 - Eyetoy is great

One of my friends - 40 year old - absolutely anti-games character. And after showing him the Eyetoy, was playing the mini games in the first eye toy game for hours. And this guy absolutely hated video games of any sort.

Can't wait for the new HD eye toy.
