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.

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.

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.

That's what is so great about technology.  What used to be expensive can come down in costs, either by manufacturing for mass market or by doing it a different way.  This might be one of those cases...

or it may just not be half as good as they claim...

ssj, that is what the Isreali company that MS purchased have developed. A way to detect 3 dimensional information from a camera regardless of available light. I believe the system is called 3DV or something along those lines. It can tel what the background is and also it can detect multiple peiple
