Sony's motion sensing controller for PS3 to be unveiled at E3 Sony's much rumored motion sensing controller for the Playstation 3 is real and it will likely be unveiled at E3.
That's what I've been hearing from several sources, one of whom has seen the device and two of whom are familiar with Sony's plans to show it at E3 next month.
Rumors that Sony will come out with a motion sensing device have abounded for over two years, ever since a patent was first reported on in January of 2007.
A good source saw a working prototype several months ago that largely fit what was in the patent. Sony's controller apparently used LEDs (light emitting diodes, essentially little electric light sources) and a small webcam to track the device's movements. Because the camera can read different color lights and the shape and angle of each light, it's much more accurate than the Wii-mote. It can track precise movements, including along the Z axis (pushing toward and away from the TV; something the Wii is really bad at) as well as velocity.
As Kombo.com reported last month, Sony is apparently reaching out to select developers and publishers to get some early software coming.
I'm not sure when the device will be unveiled (later this year or mid-next year, I'd think given the E3 timing) or what software will initially be available. Or even what it will look like (the prototype apparently looks kinda funky with a bulb to house the LEDs on the end). But apparently we'll find out the answers soon.
It will be the second new product shown by Sony at E3, if 1UP's report about a new PSP that will only play downloadable content proves accurate.
A Sony rep declined to comment.
El nuevo control de ps3 con sensor de movimiento sera desvelado en la E309
Se acuerdan de la patente que sony reporto en enero del 2007, desde ese dia se ha rumorado que sony sacara un control con sensor de movimiento parecido al wii.
Al parecer eso es lo que fuertes fuentes han dicho, una de las fuentes ya ha visto el aparato y otras 2 fuentes son familiares a lo que sony va a mostrar en la E3.
Una de las fuentes vio el prototipo en funcionamiento hace unos meses, el cual encaja bastante bien en las caracteristicas de la patente , el control de sony aparentemente utiliza LEDs y una pequeña camara web para captar los movimientos del aparato, esta identifica y localiza las luces de colores, sus movimientos y angulos lo cual la hace mas precisa que el wii-mote
kombo.com indico que el mes pasado, sony alcanzo a unos desarrolladores y publicistas para tener un software temprano
segun 1up este sera el segundo producto que sony mostrara en la E3 (el primer producto sera el psp go!)
