The PS Eye basically works in 2D, it doesn't really take in account depth and cannot "use", for instance, a push or pull gesture with you hand. It does not recognize your body either, but rather form, meaning somebody seating next to you in your sofa, facing the Eye, will interfere with your movement. Natal does work in 3D, reading the depth of your movement (as you can read in the Natal/Burnout articles - something impossible with the PSE) and recognize bodies in a very detailed way. If you're a bit familiar with the tech, you know its just a whole different thing/level. Coupled with facial recognition (that can, indeed be done by the PSEye i think) and the vocal part, it allow very interesting and very innovative things. More immersive than you've ever seen. But it, of course, lies in the hands of developpers. |
the ps eye can sence depth it just uses a different algorithm, as the object gets "bigger" it is closer to the camera. although the tech may not be as complicated/advanced as natal the information is roughly the same as what natal provides.
and yes, ps eye can do facial reconition.
we'll see what the developers do but i'm not convinced that natal can do anything that the ps eye can't...and quite frankly i think both of them are pretty limited. i'm sure motion controlls will continue to advance for quite some time but for right now wether your using wii/motion plus, natal, or the ps motion controller all of them will be plagued with "quirks" (i.e. limitations) on how you can use it.
