its the only option for sony really since the PSEye obvious advantage over natal is in object tracking since it works at 120hz as opposed to 30hz, natal excels at tracking joints in a wireframe structure which is what a human skeleton can be resolved into so this has an obvious advantage in tracking the motion of a person. There is no point in PSEye trying to compete with this type of motion detection.

I forgot about that E305 tech demo, though i dont think it was using normal cups but special coloured ones.

not new tech just PS Eye stuff, this is all software, they’re just patenting this before microsoft does, i’m surprised they have done it sooner – they’ve been working on this sort of thing for a while i think natal just kicked their butt into motion.(see what i did there)

oh and coffee mugs are great for transferring fluid! the duck demo from e3 2005 showed someone dipping a plastic cup into a bath and pouring the virtual liquid, it looked very cool so dont mock just yet!

If it recognises mobile phones and laser printers, a Gordon Brown Going Nuts simulator is a must.
