As of right now, the only way to import images that one can plaster upon the levels of LittleBigPlanet is courtesy of the PlayStation Eye, EyeToy or "other compatible USB camera." Great for capturing one's nether regions, but less great for transferring one's original artwork and digital photos. Fortunately, that's about it change, according to Media Molecule's Alex Evans and, oddly enough, the developer's Flickr photo stream. More »

The game is called Eyepet and basically it allows a person to interact with a creature using the PlayStation Eye camera. Screw guinea pigs and hamsters, why clean up after a real pet when you can have one on your TV. Eyepet promises to have all of the perks of pet ownership without any of the mess. Below you will find images of what the little critters look like. More »

Sony's Games Convention press conference saw the announcement of one brand new and rather interesting title, one that takes advantage of the PlayStation Eye in impressive new ways. EyePet, a virtual pet game for the PlayStation 3, lets players customize and interact with the "simian-like" titular beast, a furry digital companion that responds to user commands via the camera accessory.

According to VG247, part of Sony's Leipzig press conference (at least, one of the parts we don't already know about) is to be devoted to an unveiling of the "next generation of EyeToy". Seeing as the successor to the EyeToy peripheral - the PlayStation Eye - is already out, we'll presume they're talking about a next-gen sequel to EyeToy Play, the game that came bundled with the original PS2 camera. We'll also presume it'll be taking advantage of all those neat features we've been shown over the past few months. And be subsequently excited. But remember, until David Reeves takes to that stage later today, chalk this one up as a rumour. More »

Programming whiz Thomas Miller of Sony Computer Entertainment America wowed us with his technological alchemy earlier this month, whipping up a cool head tracking demo for the PlayStation 3. All that was required, at the time, was a PS3, a PlayStation Eye and a pair of glasses with infrared LEDs tacked on. Neat stuff. But at last week's GDC, Sony was showing a version that simply required a face, no glasses required. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=361634&view=rss&microfeed=true Click to viewSony Computer Entertainment America programmer Thomas Miller has pulled a Johnny Lee, throwing together a working demonstration of head tracking virtual reality on the PlayStation 3 using the PlayStation Eye, a filter made from exposed and developed film, and a pair of cobbled together infrared glasses. Using the filter to block out all light but infrared, the PlayStation Eye can track the location of the light coming from the glasses, moving the viewpoint according to the position of the beam. The results are pretty damn amazing - pretty much a WiiMote for your face. The potential for this sort of technology for console gaming is near endless, from simple menu navigation to full on head tracking for an FPS title. Miller has uploaded the tech so PS3 programmers can fool around with it. Hopefully some enterprising developer will pick up this ball and run with it. Awesome stuff. More »

Operation: Creature Feature, a frustration-filled, hand-waving extravaganza comes in at $4.99, with the interactive fish tank/screen saver Aquatopia arriving even cheaper at $1.99. Both are perfect if you have exactly $6.98 burning a hole in your virtual Wallet. And if you have a PSEye. And you're on the brink of death due to boredom. More »

We've already proven that the collectible cards for The Eye of Judgment are easily copyable, but some Japanese 2channel message board posters have an even lower tech solution for skirting card security. Allegedly, some DIY PlayStation 3 owners have created their own fake cards without requiring an original scan nor access to special inks, generating them with Photoshop or simply drawing out the basic identifying shapes by hand with a couple of colored felt-tipped markers.

The software requires a PlayStation Eye camera, something most of us won't have until The Eye of Judgment and the standalone retail version of the Eye arrive on store shelves this week. More »

Sony Computer Entertainment went a bit nutty recently at the US Patent and Trademark Office, with its European division registering new trademarks for unannounced software under the names Ember, SkyBlue, Carriage Return, Race Day, and Strings Attached. These registrants coincide with a number of products already released or announced, including PlayStation Network and PlayStation Eye games Snakeball, Operation Creature Feature, Super Rub'A'Dub and Super Stardust. Unfortunately, the descriptions of the goods and services for each, including helpful hints like "computer games apparatus adapted for use with an external display screen or monitor" don't hint at what these products may be.

"Hands-on" impressions might be leaning toward misleading as Sony's Trials of Topoq requires no actual touching, nor hands to play. The PlayStation Eye game only requires that you move your body about the screen to control a large ball. Whether you manipulate its path with your head, your hands, your crotch or your ass matters not. All that's necessary is that you create waves and, in the case of the Games Convention show floor, make a fool of yourself. More »
