nope, The DSI camera is more akin to the Eyetoy. Which is VERY different than NATAL


sometimes can't tell if people are sarcastic or serious on ze Internetz

Sorry mate, the facts don't lie. I'm being serious. So far, no console has used full body 3D motion tracking, or voice recognition. And definately not both at the same time.

The DS has voice recognition... as does the PS3 eye camera I think.... in fact.. I think it is again a software thing, so anything with a Microphone can have voice recognition.

You are correct about the full body 3d tracking though I think.

the PS3 or Playstation Eye have voice recognition and does have the ability to do 3D mapping.

even the Eye Toy on Ps2 had voice recognition and Object mapping (not full 3D) more like Color mapping.

i know i might start another argument with Natal worshippers but its true.... its all done before.


Wow ok. The Natal camera is not just one camera but two 3D cameras. They can register depth as well as the standard stuff cameras like the eyetoy register. The fact that it's 2 cameras gives it more versatility and allows it to differentiate between different people and objects. Voice command and voice recognition are not the same thing. Sometimes these to techs can be called the samething (voice recognition). Voice command is simply a device that's able to register voice and coupled with the right software gives actions to the words and phrases it registers.

Voice recognition in the way Natal implements the term is being able to not only register voice, but doing it more intelligently. Instead of relying almost entirely on software, Natals' hardware can do most of the registering AND assigning on it's own. More importantly, Natal can differentiate once again between different people. Natal essentially can distinguish your voice from that of a friends or family member. The hardware is also advanced enough that when coupled with appropriate software allows for recognition of tones and emotions in both voice and facial recognition.

It's really annoying when people claim that Natal is the same as other cameras in video gaming today. People that claim this nonsense should be banned for excessively absurd trolling and flamebaiting! Next time anyone gets stuck on this nonsensical nonsense, ask yourself: If the existing camera tech you are considering was truly as innovative and advanced as the Natal camera, why aren't it's manufacturers using it?
