I don't think he was saying all the sudden the ps3 would use this camera to do what Kinect does with seperate processors. If he did then he's not aware that Kinect is a massve drain on resources because of a conveluded detection system. I think he was suggesting that the 3d camera could capture the gamer in 3d. Certain move games show the gamer while they are playing and THAT image could then be in 3d to accompany 3d games.


that would be great like

 

if you are playing a boxing game with the opponent possing out

 

the 3D camera could capture when we punch with MOVE to the 3D image.

 

MOVE 3D would be big

Wait a moment.

There has been an enormous amount of crap floating around making out the marginal difference in processing power between the Xbox 360 and PS3 to be some huge thing.  Now suddenly a PSEye without advanced chips is going to supercede the Xbox 360's Xenon Substantial onboard Kinect computing power with JUST the CELL?


Right.


its just a rumour and sony didn't say whether it will be releaseing it or not and no word whether it will have a processor or not.

we don't have confirmation of the product and you are jumpin onto the technical details...........lmao

 

and nobody said it would superseed 360 and KINECT abilities


"If Sony were to expand on this and use the Cell Processor to calculate extraordinary 3D accuracy over and above what Kinect can achieve, we could see Kinect easily superceded."

While they never said would, could is still a very powerful term to use about a rumour.

please sony don't do this, the amount of abuse we shall receive as ps user's will be beyond bearable.


I understand where your coming from here. The whole copying thing. 

But I think more importantly it would hurt Move and Sony's image if they were to release another peripheral and games for it. To many variations on 1 system would drop support for each and show Sony lack of direction.

They should now go with Move fully, and wait till next gen for an upgrade. Kinect will already have the market for the controller free market. 

Sony should fully get behind Move. Their eggs need to be in 1 basket.

someone tell that to nintendo.  i'm still annoyed at how much money i put into nearly useless peripherals for the wii. :/

so yeah, i agree 100%, MS/Sony should get fully behind kinect/move until next gen.  in regards to a 3D eye it will be much more useful in a few years when 3D tv adaptation hits at least say 10% any somewhat would actual care to see the output of that thing.

they could have meant that the KINECT which is rumoured not using or using an extra processor.if KINECT doesn't have its own processor then it could be true

what would be the point of 3D video chat? How would that work anyways. lol

don't see why they would need a new eye for that anyway. all they need is to have the move in the screen and the people on either end to have a 3D TV. don't know the point myself but Nintendo have already boasted about it with the 3DS



correct me if I am wrong
stop me if I am bias
I love a good civilised debate (but only if we can learn something).

mostly it should be for that only

 

as PS4 will be from start FULL 3D  2K HD or 4k HD system after their push for 3D this gen

and many games will have 3D head tracking better than the esiting one and in some cases body too for hybrid games
