hmmmm... Is microsoft going to give use toy guns & swords also? The camera could detect them, and do the motions in the game.
I think I saw a demo for it somewhere.

I would imagine you could use your own homemade items if you wanted.  Already have a toy wheel, use it in a driving game if you want.

So V2 of the Live Motion Camera? Other than a higher resolution I don't see much different this can make compared to the original or PS Eye.

sounds good for now, let's see how it develops

i won't get a 360 for this, for god's sake, great games already released don't use this thing, but it sounds interesting



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Can the EyeToy detect depth?

This could be a great hit with the right software and if it's bundled with all 360 hardware from now on. If not, it's going to pass by almost unnoticed.

According to the article, it's 3D and can tell distance and the original PS Eye is considered 2D.  Not sure if it uses multiple cameras (it does call it a system), or if it has some other sensor(s) for distance.

Personally, I don't see it working well for more than a few niche games.

This article is the final straw for Sony.

Not because MS is going to have Camera Control, but because apparently nobody in the media or online communities cares enough about Sony to remember that they already had this. It was called the EyeToy, or the Playstation Eye, for the PS2 and PS3, respectively.

Apparently "Microsoft might be stealing last gen Sony tech" isn't as good a headline as "NINTENDO DOOMED! MICROSOFT INVENTS MAGIC PICTURE-TAKING BOX"

Poor sega then.  Since the Eyetoy was just a ripoff of the "Dreameye" for the dreamcast.

Try reading the article before posting it will help keep you from looking like just another fanboy.  You may find out that they do mention Sony's EyeToy.  From the article:   "While other gaming systems, such as Sony’s EyeToy, are able to detect players’ movements in two dimensions, the Microsoft camera is the first to be able to sense 3-D motion."

The only way to do that is if they are selling you a motion capture stage. Even basic mo cap cameras and basic software to take advantage is going to be expensive.
