The same way that the PSWand uses the camera to determine depth (size of the glowing orb thingy), the Wii Remote uses the IR sensor to determine depth (distance between the two IR signals on each side of the sensor bar). Both controllers essentially do the same thing using a different method. The Wii Remote can't constantly watch the sensor bar (as you point away from the screen) but every time you point at the screen it can be recalibrate. |
So is that...like almost being a usable depth sensor for games? If you have to point it toward the sensor bar for depth I'd assume that sort of eliminates most needs for depth sensing in games. I'm not seeing that as the same way the Wand/Arc/PS3MC determines depth. Or at least the same functionality.
Just waiting for that PS Vita to come out so I can play some full featured games on the go with that beautiful screen and control scheme...
