PlayStation Eye: Sony's insanely advanced camera for PS3
This is not a toy: the newly unveiled Playstation Eye is one sophisticated piece of hardware. Some features of this new PS3 peripheral include:
A sophisticated microphone with the ability to reduce background noise and focus on the spoken word for smoother, more accurate speech recognition and transfer
The ability to capture videos and audio clips directly to your PS3's hard disk drive
Engineered to perform well even in low-light conditions
A range of different capturing modes, including slow motion and time-lapse
Faster frame rate for improved tracking, responsiveness and smoothness
Two position zoom lens for close-up and full body options
A range of eye-catching visual effects to apply to photos and videos
Bundled with EyeCreate™ editing software, which allows users to save and edit photos, video and audio clips
In many ways, this camera is more advanced than most home camcorders. PlayStation Eye features 4 channel audio input and the ability to record at an insane 120 frames/second. The camera supports up to 640x480 video, and can record uncompressed or MJPEG video. Eye of Judgment, a card battling game demoed at E3, will be one of the first titles to take advantage of this revolutionary camera.
