PS3 head tracking only needs camera

Also,
the PSeye did NOT lose track of the fellows head. The CAMERAMAN could not get the camera he was holding directly behind the tracked head.

Since this was shown off by Sony devs at GDC and was given freely to developers...I am predicting that we will see this implemented in a game THIS year. R2 or KZ2 or both.

The thing I am most excited about is the PSeye and the PS3's ability to SEE your eyes and TELL what direction they are looking at. Think of the possibilities, you look in a direction and press the shoot button for instance.

With this tech and Home and Blu-ray and the KILLER software due this year...NOTHING can stand in the way of the PLAYSTATION 3. NOTHING

You needed to close one eye because you have depth perception. The same problem would exist no matter what system the program is running off. It only works so well in videos becuase video footage is 2D, with no depth perception at all.

The other problems could probably be fixed by better coding. What you saw was really just a prototype.

It's actually pretty great to have in racing and flight games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-0ZZJxOBQg&feature=related

I was talking about the tracking of what direction the users EYES are looking in.

Nice try though, and yes I know this has been around for a decade or so with webcams in general.

The fact that the PS3 has facial recognition technology on top of the fact that it can track what direction your EYES are looking in...is what in MY opinion sets this apart from the rest. Not to mention it is a FIRST on a console that was introduced by a console makers DEVELOPMENT team.
