Sony has many subdivisions, and sony america is pretty big, but it's a valid question since so man of those R&D stories come from japan and now this sony one it's not japanese, so if anybody has an answer?
Not sure why you'd hope that. But that isn't the point discussed, it was why it's being developed in he US when he company must have a R&D department in their original home.
Might be nice to give the guys some direct credit with name mentioned anyway sony, you will still have he patent.
And as for the camera, the demos so far might have used the existing camera but it's just demos, who knows what they'll do, perhaps a new model with some preprocessing might be heir choice for retail, to reduce lag for instance.
Richard Marks is the mind behind the Eyetoy, PSEye and now this motion controller, he is an American who was leter transferred to SCEE. He's also vice president of R&D of SCEE, or something like that. Sony has given him plenty of credit, you just never bothered to pay attention.
AFAIK Sony always sends US patents through SCEA, no matter where the thing was developed.
Just a note: Richard holds a PHD from Stanford......A very bright guy, I was lucky enough to attend of of his presentation way back in Stanford.....and he knows his stuff.
That's right, I'm not up sony's ass like they are up mine with their rootkits and 'security services' that they tried to install on my system numerous times, they incidentally hired 3rd party companies with geniuses for that. They keep their own intellect busy on finding ways to block sound consumer input asking for simple things like a second analog controller on the PSP.
And you are an unpleasant asshole burns11, thanks for listening.
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.

i thought sony was a japanese company, why is this white dude designing things.

Newsflash - multinational companies to tend to hire all sorts of people. Mindblowing, isn't it?
Or is it simply that they get a white face to tell the western audience and it's japanese guys who are the bulk of the developers?
well its still sony. and this is a big part of the PS3 so i would have assumed that japan would be where its designed.
Sony is a MNC. Sony America is capable of R&D too. I hope Wwhat isn't suggesting that "white guys" aren't capable of designing stuff like this.
Not sure why you'd hope that.

Incidentally these are he same guys as before in his vid: http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/sony-announces-new-ps3-motion-controller/
And he does ID himself as an engineer and the patent was done in the US when i was first noticed, submitted by sony america so I guess it's thought up in the US
