Not as impressive looking as the wii head tracking, but that may be fault of whoever shot the video. They should have put the camcorder on the person's head, and or tracked the camera instead of a different person, and that might of made it look better. As it is, the presentation fails. |
i'm assuming the wii head tracking is done via wiimote. if so, how the hell are you comapring the two?? the wiimote is a motion sensor done via hardware. the ps eye isn't. its a normal motion camera. the software is doing the tracking on the ps3, not the eye. the eye stays still. it's what ever is in the camera's scope that gets tracked. |
Double fail for not doing your research on wii head tracking that is two months old. Wii head tracking uses the IR sensor pointed at you instead of the motion sensor. The wiimote stays still. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw |
This guy is using a wiiremote with his pc. There is no Wii involved. When you claim it is not as impressive as the wii headtracking what are you referring to? The pc is processing the information and displaying it on the tv. There is no Wii involved with this. The PS3/Eye toy head tracking uses the ps3 for processing and display. |
Wii isn't an open platform and the guy who came up with the technique had no official devkit, he was forced to use a bluetooth-enabled PC to do the test.
Sony and EA devs saw what he did with the Wii remotes and used the technique.
Sony devs implemented a method of doing it using the PSEye instead of a Wiimote and eventually got it working without the IR leds. No announced game uses it yet, though.
EA added it to a Wii game they had in development(Boom Box), although it's not a core feature of the game.
