I was just searching some news about onlive and I discovered an artikle, which says that Sony showed on the Vision 2009 expo a stereocamera which can track movements and recognize feelings.  The Vision 2009 is a tiny trade fair which is completly unknown ( I know it since 5 minutes). This Trade fair has nothing to do with videogames it is a international trade fair for machine vision and identification technologys. So i was surprised a little that Sony showed ICU on this small event. 

 

I found this artikle plus video: http://www.basicthinking.de/blog/2009/11/06/icu-sonys-neuer-ganzkoerper-controller/ 

here is the same article in english:

" It can even track the sway of your clothing"

 

Did someone of you knew that ? I never heard that here. Because its clear that they develop it for the PS3 too. If this is old infos I apologize but for me this is really news. So the PS3 will probably feauture Natal AND Wii Mote thats a surprise to me. The technology is practically the same and it seems very powerful it can focus on a distance so objects which are nearer wont be taken into account. It can digitally delete disturbing objects and it can recognize if you are a kid or a man or a woman. It can recognize your feelings too. Its a stereo camera (3d camera) too. They will have probably a delay but who knows maybe they announce it in E3 2010 that would probably be a blast for Natal.
