Cool video about wiimote - have a look:


Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space. By Johnny Chung Lee, Carnegie Mellon University.

@crazycake93 sony uses cameras while wii uses a sensor bar. for any wii game ur body doesnt have to anything as long as the remote does it. on psmove u have to move ur body Retard. And The Playstation Move is a combination of Natal and the Wii Mote. Because PSeye doesnt NEED a controller its optional. It do what natal can do just as well or it can do what the wii can do better.

619Madrid June 1, 2010 at 3:11 am

@crazycake93 dude, what revolutionising, they say that sony has been working on the PSmove since the eyetoy. they probably didnt release it cus the eyetoy was a fail. And natal is nothing new, more like PSeye 2.0. Playstation Eye displays the person on the screen and their body in the same way Natal does look at eye pet. As 4 wii, wii is never advanced at anything. Nintendo finally reached the graphics of the PS2 OMG. NATAL can not do anything that the PSmove cant.

crazycake93 June 1, 2010 at 3:55 am

@TheTOBster21 Naah mate, Project natal is far more accurate than the new PS3 move, it’s kind of a stupid idea when the Wii and Xbox have now revolutionised gaming, but the PS3 is using outdated tech, they could develope a new tech to make Project Natal seem outdated, but noo.. they just made two wiimotes….
Even still, there are No decent games for PS3, Killzone? u gotta be shitting me

InsaneBreakdown June 1, 2010 at 4:42 am

games in another 10 year :| scary thought

InsaneBreakdown June 1, 2010 at 5:31 am

@TheTOBster21
also xbox *natal*
has sony not hear of eye toy?
yeaa microsoft suck

TheTOBster21 June 1, 2010 at 5:58 am

@crazycake93 the wii uses infrared to pick up movements dude. PS3′s new tech uses an actual camera that picks up everything you do with your move controller. It picks up velocity, and every movement you make, plus Sony is combining this tech with their new 3D games so I don’t get how the fuckin wii outdates playstation? 360 is outdated because Natal is only made for casual gamers. movement will not be precise. the tech demos were rediculous. PS3 & Nintendo FTW. Microsoft done. =P

this is how 3d should be made, not that crapy thing with the distorted images and glasses they’re doing..
