Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that it will release its new Motion Controller for PlayStation 3 in spring 2010.
When combined with the PlayStation Eye, the new controller promises to deliver a whole new entertainment experience capable of recognising and tracking a user’s face and voice as well as body motion.
The Motion Controller is equipped with two motion sensors, three axes gyroscope and three axes accelerometer that can detect the controller’s angle and movement held in the user’s hand. Together with the PlayStation Eye camera for PS3 which can accurately track the absolute position of the controller, Sony claims the controller is able to detect the natural and intuitive movement of the hand and reflect the precise movement on to the game.
A sphere placed on the top of the controller is not only used to track the absolute position but can also give visual feedback to users by changing the colours or the illuminating patterns of the sphere. The new Motion Controller is also equipped with a rumble feature.
SCE has revealed it slate of titles in development for the new controller, all scheduled for release in 2010:
Ape Escape (Working Title)
Echochrome 2 (Working Title)
Eccentric Slider (Working Title)
