New York University professor Wafaa Bilal had art on his mind when he had a camera mounted to the back of his head, but I'm claiming having electronics surgically attached to your body in the name of science. More »

Dragon Age: Origins controls well on a PlayStation 3, BioWare proved to Kotaku yesterday — mouse and keyboard not required. But if you want the overhead view seen in this game's spiritual predecessor, a mouse (and computer) is a must. More »

Corvus of Man Bytes Blog has been posting an interesting series over the past month, contemplating issues of the camera in games: they've ranged from issues of reliance on gun sight type targeting to 'chasing third person cinema.' The last in the series dealing with the problems is on the problematic issue of exactly what the camera is suppose to represent and what it is supposed to do. As he notes, "The central question of these issues seems to be, 'Is the camera meant to represent our eyes, a camera lens, or a gun sight?' And the answer, for better or for worse, appears to be a flat 'Yes.'": More »

A recent poll quizzed Japanese folks about what functions they'd like to see appear on the PSP. What do folks want? A big chunk of those polled wanted 1seg support. Beginning this past April, 1seg is a mobile terrestrial digital audio/video and data broadcasting service in Japan. In short, it lets people view digital TV on portable devices. Talk about an application that's absolutely perfect for the PSP. What do folks not want? Functions like the PSP camera add-on and the GPS receiver weren't that popular, which doesn't bode well for these products when they launch in Japan this fall. Three words: better market research.

IT-Media took a nice detail shot of the Playstation Portable Camera during a recent Loco Roco event. It looks like the metal-encased camera will be 1.3 mega-pixels and include a built in microphone. It also looks like, judging by the image, that the thing will jut out in front and behind the portable. I could be wrong about that, it might be that this image is showing some sort of security or display attachment. I sure hope so; I don't need the PSP to be even more awkwardly shaped than it already is. Brian Crecente More »

Of course it's next to impossible to play a game and video tape up close and personal at the same time. Enter the Tinker Toys. More »

However, don't pull out your EyeToy and start practicing. Microsoft's camera demo showed the unit functioning with messenging and Xbox Live chat, not games. At least, not games - yet. More »
