Forums - Sony - Sony Patents Kinect-Like 3D Depth-Sensing Camera for PlayStation Consoles

When copying Wiimotes with PSmove is not enough, now they are copying Kinect...

Personaly i think sony should forget about motion control, Playstation is at its best with regular old school controler aimed at gamers, theyr is no doubt that the PSmove is a big fail, and I dont see that 3d kinect wannabe that will probably be rly expensive suceed when ppl who are interested in that kind of stuff alrdy have a Kinect. Same thing with the wiimotes and psmove, ppl who were interested in a motion controler alrdy had a wii...

Also i know that alot of ppl will make the argument that Sony came up with the PSeye way before Kinect. But the PSeye was a failure and Sony didnt go thru with it and they gave up on the idea. Now they are trying again only because they see that Microsoft is having sucess. Its like a kid throwing away a toy, and when he sees someone else is having fun with it he wants it beack.

Wrong word. I meant patent. And whether or not they invented it doesn't matter if they've already got a patent for it.

Here we are again with totally off base and incorrect posts. How is move a failure? MS spends millions more on advertising yet move has slowly crept up in sales......... The gap isn't big at all.

Ok then, let me put it this way. Move is no where near as successfull or as influancial as sony would have hoped.

hurt or not it can be still the truth what someone is saying on the internet...

if you think there are no patents for the kinect technique, owned from whoever, then you are a little bit...whatever millenium said.

there are patents for round or angular edges for smartphones and even for the color of the packaging of the ipad so if you think no one has a patent for sensors or whatever needed for something like kinect you are very optimistic.

just to let you know, microsoft itself had to handle patents with kinect they didn't own so they got sued. if you think now that there aren't any patents anymore for this since last year then i believe you are the only one on this planet who thinks so. microsoft got sued, but now, when sony will use something like this, there is no way someone is owning patents harharhar. is that what you believe?

doesn't mean that sony will get problems, maybe they have a new technique, maybe they will pay royalties, maybe they own the patents for years now for all techniques needed but there are a hundreds of patents for all the techniques in kinect alone. i know that apple for example has some of the patents for gesture recognition no clue who else.

you are trying to convince this young lad that microsoft tried to protect their technology, their investment, so that anybody cant just make and profit off the kinect.

what kind of madness is that! you are obviously trolling
