PS3 upcoming EyeToy 2 camera changes 2D into 3D?
Sony has filed a patent (number 2006-178948) for a new motion capture technology AKA the EyeToy 2 PS3 camera.
Next-gen reports: “Basically, a camera will recognize every move and position of an object and will translate these actions accordingly to an object inside a game. Via this new technology, the 2D camera is analyzing an object in full 3D through a patented mapping technique.
Until now, more than one camera was needed to capture an object’s movement in 3D. This patent could turn out to be should be the next generation of Eye Toy, expected to debut on PS3 some time next year.” This would be awesome!

Is this new eyetoy going to track your entire body as a controller, or will it just track the motion of a controller (like the wii), i have heard both but the patent sounds like it tracks a controller

Well as the first camera tracked your body I would assume that this one will do the same. If it only tracked the controller you may as well have just a motion sensitive controller. Erm oh yeah which they do. doh!
