    If you're looking to do something more with your PlayStation Move on a PC than, say, change the color of the controller's bulb, you'll be interested to know that Sony's giving a presentation at GDC 2011 on the "Move Server" project -- a project said to allow "academics and hobbyists to develop software using the PlayStation Move controller on their own PCs." The speech will be held on Wednesday, March 2, and lead by senior developer support engineer John McCutchan of Sony Computer Entertainment America. Sony's "Move Server" project has yet to be announced by the company, but the GDC session listing certainly seems to spell out its intention of bringing Move functionality to PCs everywhere -- we've reached out to Sony for official comment all the same. Regardless, we'll assuredly find out more at SCEA's GDC session early next month.

    Oops. Looks like Sony's plans to make its PlayStation Move controller an official PC accessory have been unceremoniously revealed in a description of a Sony Computer Entertainment America talk scheduled for Game Developers Conference 2011. According to the synopsis, John McCutchan, SCEA's lead for Game Systems and Developer Support, will be on hand to discuss the "Move Server project that will make it possible for academics and hobbyists to develop software using the PlayStation Move controller on their own PCs." Hmm, sounds like somebody feels left out by all of the unofficial Kinect hackery which could be treated to official Microsoft support sometime this summer. Now go hit up the source link below to read the description for yourselves.
