Thanks DamonTheMoney!
Sony has recently published a patent that appears to show motion control with real world objects thru the PlayStaion Eye. The camera is said to identify almost any three deminsional object used and translate it into in-game actions. This seems like it would be a good feature because instead of buying whole new accessories for $50 dollars or using your imagination you can just use an item around your house. Remember that this is just a patent filed by Sony and still has a chance of never being used.

This would be fantastic if they could implement it right. You could use a plate to drive a car, instead of … well, nothing.

Microsoft Resorting To Legal Trickery With Lawsuit Over Xbox Live?
Posted by Brian Leahy – Thursday, July 02, 2009 12:21 PM
Microsoft LogoMicrosoft has been sued a lot. It happens. This one could end up costing them a decent chunk of change, however. In 1994, Peter Hochstein and Jeffrey Tenenbaum were granted a patent for “communicating live while playing the same video game in separate locations.” The two sued Microsoft in 2004, claiming that Xbox Live infringes on their patent.
Microsoft’s defense appears to hinge upon the claim that Xbox Live operates outside of the actual video game. Furthermore, Kotaku notes that the company has resorted to cheap tricks, including holding up the trial for weeks over a type and providing 140,000 documents on the plaintiffs without any index.
Sony was also sued by Hochstein and Tenenbaum over the PS2’s network, but Sony settled the case for an undisclosed amount of money. Seems like the reverse of the lawsuit over rumble in controllers. In that case, Microsoft settled and licensed the tech to include rumble on the Xbox 360. Sony was the one that dragged the process out, finally releasing the DualShock 3 after settling the case.

I think this kinda kills project natal… i mean people were complaining it would be stupid when ur playing a game why not having anything physical to grab… well sony seems to have solved that… but i one to believe sony (like always) will save this current gen tech for at least two more generations and show it when its too late… ohh sony..

Yeah, I thought that too. But they recorded it on thursday as usual (mikedemo said it on twitter), so I’d imagine DLB has a couple of seconds to click “upload”. I may be wrong, who knows. Maybe he’s doing extensive editing like last week (I liked that BTW!).
I don’t mind if it’s late though, it’ll come when it comes.

When i was talking to dlb yesterday on skype he said he is having a bbq with his family that is why it is not up yet.
But everyone there is a podcast this week they record it on thursday and dlb was editing it while we was talking. so it may not be up today the latest it will be up is sunday.

It makes too much sense to do which means Sony isn’t gonna do it.

Interesting but why did it take some long to patent it? Didn’t that show us this technology last year with Eye Pet.
Oh well. I probably won’t use the motion controls anyway. I’d rather go outside and do something than stand in front of my television wiggling about for a game.

5 posts in this thread and no doubt counting.
I agree with Mexican on the point that most people still don’t know about Sony’s patents. I’m sure plenty of folks are watching all the late night talk shows that Natal is on.
