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.


I don't think so. Since the PSE doesn't recognize your body but only forms, how would it make the difference between your hand getting bigger and a closed fist opening (therefore getting bigger) ? Put your hand in front of your head or your body, and the PSE is kind of lost in what it should recognize. That's why the games using it, as the eye toy, work in very specific situations.

It's only a matter of the informations/dats : the PSE is recieving 2D infos versus 3D infos for Natal.

Once again, look for informations from persons that actually USED Natal, and even test it, walking ahead/next to/behind a guy playing without interfering wiht its commands...

1. "Put your hand in front of your head or your body, and the PSE is kind of lost in what it should recognize."  and you point is?  natal has the exact same problem.  natal compinsates for it by taking the location of where the object was and which direction it was heading to infer where is should be when the object goes into a blind spot (i.e. your head being behind your hand).  the exact same algorithim could be applied to the eye toy.

2. "how would it make the difference between your hand getting bigger and a closed fist opening (therefore getting bigger)?"  the hand is really the only object on your body would be complicated as your head, elbows, knees won't change size in any way.  so if you want to know what sony is tracking your hands then ask the question, "why does sony's motion controller have those stupid looking balls that change color on their controller?".  it's a point of reference that gives the location of your hand to the ps eye. 

now i know what your going to say - but that means you can't track finger movements?!?!   natal doesn't either, at least not as they showed it off.  it simply doesn't have the resolution to track fingers.  the natal2 might though.
