Sony Patent: DIRECTIONAL INPUT FOR A VIDEO GAME

[ONQ]

In this patent 2 PlayStation Move controllers are used to track the direction of a Sharp Shooter like PlayStation Move Gun & also there is some images of what might be the PlayStation Vita or just a screen mounted on the Gun so you can see your target even when it's off the TV screen.

DIRECTIONAL INPUT FOR A VIDEO GAME


Abstract


A method for providing directional input to a video game is provided. The method initiates with capturing an image of a first object and a second object, the first object and the second object being defined at a fixed distance from each other. A three-dimensional location of the first object is determined based on analysis of the captured image, and a two-dimensional location of the second object is determined based on analysis of the captured image. An input direction for a video game is determined based on the three-dimensional location of the first object and the two-dimensional location of the second object.

While I understand the need to innovate, all I'll ever need is a controller. The thing seems interesting though
