**ONQ** · 02-23-2013

DUO is a 3D Hand tracking device using 2 PlayStation Eye Camera creating a very fast & accurate Stereo Camera that tracks your hands & other objects that you place into it's field of view. & it should give us a nice look into the future of what the PlayStation 4's HD Stereo Camera System The PlayStation4-Eye can do.

Nice post Mr ONQ. It'll be cool to see what Sony does with its new PSEye. What are your impressions of the PS4 reveal?

I liked what I seen the sense of scale in the Kill Zone Demo was really impressive for a game with that level of graphics & the 8GB of GDDR5 was a nice surprise even though it's close to what I expected from the Next Gen Consoles,

I would have loved to see some more rendering Demos showing of what the hardware could do like maybe a ray-traced or path traced scene, & demos of what the PlayStation4 Eye & DualShock4 can do, but I guess that wasn't the show for all the tech stuff that most people wouldn't understand so maybe it was best that they kept all that stuff out of the show. hopefully they will go more in depth at GDC next month.

Yeah KZ looked fantastic. The effects and animations all looked great and the detail...wow! I think its easy to be hungry for more, but with 10 months to go, I guess they have a reveal roadmap planned and they didn't want to blow their load all in one shot.

The GDDR5 RAM was an amazing revelation that really seems to have put a smile on the dial of the industry.

Is that a GIANT ENEMY CRAB!?

**brebaz** · 02-23-2013

This is great. I want one like this just for photo-editing! I can't wait to see what the PSEye 3.0 is capable of.

**claud3** · 02-23-2013

nice thread indeed.. I am interested in this, looks really promising

**MonkeyClaw** · 02-23-2013

This highly reminds me of the Leap Motion device!

**chips_V1** · 02-23-2013

Wow that technology looks amazing. Looks like it could be fun to use but I can't see me using it too much, would like to use it just for flicking between menu's and making avatar's ect.

**keefy** · 02-23-2013

Looks good but I noticed the hand was always directly above the DUO thing.

**keefy** · 02-23-2013

WOW a whole 32MB or 22 floppy discs.

**SHAZZMAZZ** · 02-23-2013

Im going out of my mind here stop showing me new cool stuff im going crazy for the PS4 and all this new info is not helping me, im thinking of having my body frozen until the release day of the PS4 i just cant wait its killing me i just got to find out more relax SHAZZMAZZ.

Its not me who made it, but its the website and I don't no why they didn't included or stil its weak against the PS4.

Seems to be the case but looking at the lens I think I know what's going on here

They added a lens array to the PlayStation Eyes so the camera will have lots of different views to create the 3D image from.

not on the same level but because the raytrix camera is using a 20,000 Micro Lens array with one camera.

It has the same issue as Kinect does. Its a amazing technology that has no real usable functionality.

This made me laugh.

Yeah it's been a long while since I have been around but that's just me jumping around the net seeing whats going on combined with life getting a little to hectic. Glad to see I'm still welcome here, figured I was forgotten

.

And I stand my my opinion of all these motion controllers. Personally Sony got it the closest with Move in terms of feed back and functionality and even they missed it completely because there are very few usable purposes for it. New sci-fi like technology does have that wow factor but doesn't always have the practicality.

For all the innovations in pointing devices on computers we still use mice and touch screens, everything else just hasn't fit in yet.

Playstation eye, Kinect. You know what both of them have in common? They have zero business being in my living room. I don't get why they are forcing a camera down out throats only ads costs to the machine. Didn't Sony learn from the last time they released a hardware packed machine?

I agree, it is fine if they have the accessory for the systems, but don't shove it down our throat and package it with the console driving up the price! I would gladly ditch both of those and instead have the money spend on an even stronger CPU or GPU, etc.!
