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

VGKing on 20 February 2012

Kinect-like camera?
Do I even need to state the obvious? Kinect is nothing more than an advanced Playstation Eye just like Playstation Move is an advanced Wiimote.

So if Sony is copying anyone, it's themselves.

Sony really doesn't get the credit they deserve when it comes to motion control . ALL this stuff that's popular this gen was done on the ps2 with the eyetoy. Motion controlled dancing, fitness, sports mini-game collections, party mini-game collections etc. were ALL on ps2. Sony pioneered this stuff selling over 10 million eyetoys.

And just to say something about the whole wii mote/ move thing as well cause you NEVER hear the truth and i'm sick and tired of self righteous, know-nothing nintendo fans. First of all XAVIX did it first NOT nintendo. A full 2 years before the wii came out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH9u0eKgytc

Also consider wii motion plus. How is it an improvement over the vanilla wii mote? They added a gyroscope... the same tech used in the ps3 six axis for years.

the ignorance on some people is great!! Sony gets no credit cause they abandoned the Eyetoy?! Yeah thats why they have had PSEye for PS3 for about the entire gen. If anything this new device is PSEye 3, a piece of tech that Sony had made them selves

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

A flat chested anatomically incorrect Goddess?  Unless you are referring to the fertility  godess of the Rice Cake.

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.


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.


The gap is about 10 million and growing. This quite big for 1 year, isn't it?

 

BTW MS reported 18 million Kinect Sensors shipped in January 2012. 8 weeks later, we stil have it below 16 million at VGC. Anyone care to explain?



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

your wasting your breath. a circle is 360 degrees and thats all we've been doing this gen. by restating the facts. don't break your neck trying, cause mine already hurts. their is already a vid on G4tv, an article on GI, and many youtube vid's, along with millions of threads on vgc showing proof of everything you've just said but sarcasm and choosing to ignore these facts is the problem.
