"Additionally with AIBO Recognition, an owner can first register his or her name and voice through a series of prompts. Then the owner will be prompted to look into the robot?s camera to register a facial image... upon hearing its owner?s name and/ or voice and/ or seeing its face the robot will express affectionate emotions."

That was nearly 7 years ago,I guess whatever they are using now is probably far more advanced than AIBO.If it can detect eye's then it should track them.

Eye tracking has been used for a while now but in a gaming context could be fun,missing a clue not because you didn't highlight it but because you never looked at it.
If they could get Ai to react to were your looking would be cool,take MGS situation,you get seen but you stay still and he walks away,the role could be reversed so it's the user who may spot something but thinks it was a bush looks at something else whilst the AI starts sneaking towards you agan.

You could use it in GTA,imagine a drug lord asks you to take out a rival gang,who are you're friends at the beginning of the game.but because you're subconscious made you lose eye contact it could force a reaction he could say

"look at me,LOOK AT ME!,now I want you to $%^& them up good, no hesitation,,,,you understand?"

you would reply with a headtrack nod or reply

"yes"

As you leave he could say

"I don't trust him"

All that from tracking your eyes lol,but I can really see it happening.

EDIT

writing that gave loads of ideas.

cutscene chatting with a woman,she talks to you,bends over to pick something you check out here ass.

her head looks back and says

"enjoying the view?"

you look at her face and smile,she starts laughing because you smiled :)

O_O

are you seriously asking me that question. so i guess sony's been working on this since the 1970's right. or is this sony's way of not feeling left out.

1)they seen the wii-mote getting people that usually don't play games because of the controlls. now sony copies the wii-mote with the dildo.

2)sony see natal getting alot of buzz and interest. now sony wants to steal that idea with this.

but i guess it's sony. so when they do it. it's ok. because well it's sony. watch the sonyfanboy embrace this as a great idea sony came up with.

Vega, please lets not act as if Microsoft is the true inventor of new tech and dont copy / steal anything from their competition.

As for point number 2, E3 was only 1 month ago. You actually think Sony made a full working face recognition software in only 1 month??? You don't think they have been working on this ages ago with the PS Eye already being released? :|

*facepalms*

LOL @ Vega for thinkin it's Sony that's doing the "stealing". The fact of the matter is, MS has taken avatars from Nintendo and motion control via camera from Sony. Sony has had motion games on the market since 2004/2005, so let's keep it real here folks. MS is the one who is playing catchup.

you did hear about it before, it was called eyepet and eyedentify.

Sounds to me that you are the last to hear about the PSEye software

eyedentify was never real so.....

copy mii's from the wii and no natal is not an eyetoy ripoff.... not at all

and HD DVD? lol no that wasnt because of bluray at all i feel sorry for the people who bought that

from 360 fans, because basically everything about the 360 and xbox brand is based on copying with very very few exceptions!!

xbox and 360 stole/copied:

1: to have a camara in a console from ps2

2: to have a dvd and other media players in the console from ps2

3: the amount of buttons on the controller ps2

4: it include HT DVD(high def media player) from ps3 blue ray

5: 80% of their games is stolen or copying or inspired by sony games

6: HDMI cable support from ps3

7: wireless controllers from ps3

8: avatars from mii's and it was an answer to sony's Home

9: the targeted demographic audience from sony

10: motion controller is on the way just like wii and ps3 wand, mark my words!!

so Mart, u got no authorization to accuse anybody of copying anybody!!!

natal is a copy of ps2 eyetoy

:\

Sony was doing all this before Natal was ever shown, so how can they copy it's features point for point?

and EYETOY had games like that ball game on the PS2.

I really don't see how that "ball game" does anything different than the software that comes with a typical webcam...the software that reacts to a basketball screensaver when you move any part of your body.

how long has the eye camera been out? yea that's right. these features were already in the camera. u people sound like idiots. it's a 30 dollar camera. and it's proving to be able to do the same sh!t as natal. not that i need or want this feature. but it's nice to see that sony has the smarts to be able to do this with a normal camera and they don't have to WOW us with some sort of super addon thats probably going to cost 200 bucks. i hope they look to see what natal can do. and "COPY" all of it with the ps eye. just to prove a point.

LOL, since when is it popular?? do u have an early version of it??

its not even out and it has so many errors and faults as usual anything coming from MS!!

popular my ass!!

Copying Microsoft? No, sir.

Eye Toy was there first, it's Sony's birthright to head into that direction.

Except, PS Eye is out now and shown working. Natal, on the other hand, has not.

why does Sony feel the need to play catch-up?....I mean why wait until Natal is revealed to decided to use software to take advantage of what is already suppose to be present in the eyetoy?

Because after the Eyetoy and the lukewarm reception it got, Sony underestimated the market for this sort of thing. The video that someone posted above shows that Sony, five years ago, had been working with the z-cam that Natal uses, but they passed it up. I think Microsoft just has more of a vision for this.

Exactly.

Botty boy of the year claiming to own both 360 and ps3? And everytime he comes up from the ground with little sly remarks as if he works at the very least, as a janitor for Micro$oft! He is clearly a fanboy and the worst fanboy is one who claims they own both but have one of the consoles so far up their azz! Truly pathetic!

LOL look at this droid. Did your master send you in to do damage control? I clearly showed from the QUOTE from SONY that they said SOME of the features and not ALL the features were in the PSeye. Does SONY's quote hurt you?

Prove that i don't own both consoles you ignorant douche. I have my PSNID up on my Bio that if you have simply clicked on the Bio link you would have seen. Funny how i don't see your PSNID or GamerTag on yours...got something to hide you stupid Droid? Send me a friend request and i will answer it back. You wanna play a game or EoJ? How about MGSonline, or how about LBP? I have no problem with showing you how stupid and ignorant you are. Ball is in your court dipsh1t.

Those who try and call others out and FAIL are by far the more pathetic.

Believe.

PlayStation Eye has been out since October, 2007.

ever said you have to have natal for Gears of War or that you can only use Natal. No one said that controllers are going to be eliminated. Microsoft is trying to make controllers pointless but they aren't going to force anyone to play with out a controller...
