PS3 Head Tracking – Without A Goofy Hat!
// February 28th, 2008 // Fun Whatnot
Johnny Lee shook my world with his proof of concept head tracking hack on the Nintendo Wii, but it looks as though Sony is going to be the company to run with his idea. Further simplifying the use, they use the Eye Toy accessory to do head tracking. From this, they show basically the exact same proof of concept demo Lee is now so famous for.
Though Boom Blox will have the honor of being the first to put this in a game! Sadly, the inclusion is merely an easter egg for this strange but intriguing Wii game…

Looks like the goofy glasses and the Wii did this with less technical problems. (note how it loses him when he goes to the side). The glasses also make sure the background doesn’t screw the head tracking up when someone else walks by.
“sporty safety goggle form factor” ftw
Listen to the last 3 seconds. “It loses me when I go to the side” While I think it’s cool sony is also trying this if you really watch and listen to both this and Johnny Lee’s wii head tracking the wii version works better. I’m not just saying that because I’m a wii fan. The way the wii version works, it tracks the user in 3d space relative to the remote. If I’m correct the eye toy (ps3 camera) can only see what part of the 2d space the face takes up. The range is more limited and I also am not sure whether it can track how close the person is to the screen.
