Sony has debuted a new PS3 motion sensing controller that links up with the PlayStation Eye.
The prototype controller looked like a plastic microphone and featured a glowing sphere on the end that the PlayStation Eye tracked during a tech demo. Sony said the device’s visual appearance would change ahead of its release in Spring 2010.
The demonstration showed how the controller could be used to play sports titles, shooters, fighting games and an RTS, as well as for writing. The controller was shown on-screen in the user’s hand as a baseball bat, sword or gun, and offered one to one motion tracking.
Sony said that the technology would surpass anything similar currently on the market and to expect more information on the PlayStation motion controller soon.
