no it doesn't




Just make a game that uses that and the controller and you got a FPS that may actually bring something new and interesting to the genre.



Interesting. Could be rather cool with the right game attached to it. I still don't see how it could WORK with multiple people like they seem to be claiming, though.

@koopa

Being too much of a wii fanboy today i'm guessing?



well, if you look at the video carefully, the camera seems to be tracking the guy at the left of the screen as well as the centre guy. so it looks like it can handle it.




I'm not talking about tracking two heads, I'm talking about shifting the perspective properly.. You can't really DO that and have both people get the correct perspective for their view, at least not without using split-screen.

 you are absolutely right.. its impossible to have two people doing it, unless their heads are right next to each other, without using a split screen .. the first person perspective on the screen is only achievable by one angle.. 



interesting, I like how sony developed this into a camara interface, and it would be cool for gaming especially with the ps3 cell. However, there are few things I do not like about this idea.

[1] If this technology is to be released for the ps3 this gen then it would feel really rediculous using the ps3 controller with this head tracking. I just dont see myself using the traditional type controller when it could easily be a gun, surfboard, or other devices that is not traditional.

[2] If this technology is to be released next gen then I would be worried about nintendo or microsoft developing something 100% better than using headtracking for gaming. For instance, virtual reality, true 3d gaming, or etc...

Anyways, I think it is a great idea that sony is being innovative for a change, but I do not seriously see this working out for the ps3 with its current equipment.
