because the ball is how the system works! The PSeye detects the ball, and recognizes how far away it is by its size.


That can easily be replaced by placing several markers on the controller itself. Doesn't need to exactly have a glowing ball on the end of it imho. Let's hope they can make the design slicker than it is now

No it cant. They something prominent and of a easily seeable design. Something that when it moves further away can detect it shrinking in size. The eye on it's own cannot do depth unless it sees a glowing object that changes in size. So they could do Natal, but would have to where a glowing suit.

Hmm, how would "detecting a glowing ball" be the way to go, when detecting the size, distance and movement of (for example) three separate points/slits/circles/whatever on a controller basically gives you the same thing? (what am I missing that means a HUGE dot in front of a controller is required?) :s

a ball will always be a ball, no matter what side you look at it from. That means, as long as you don't hide it from the PSeye, you can hold the controller any way you want to. if you have a marker on one side, you would always have to "show" that side of the controller to the PSeye.

 

and the ball needs to be a certain size, to be easy to detect, as you also can move further away from the PSeye.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
