i wonder who is the fanboi here. you should reread the article objectively to understand what the writer is trying to get across.

errrmm, the eyetoy/pseye is not the same as the kinect. the tech may look the same but how they work are different. that's the truth.

the pseye is basically a webcam with IR that tracks the signal that gets returned (or not returned). so essentially, it is just detecting space or whatever is in that space.

let's use the example of a simple catch-the-ball game. the pseye works with the game to determine the space where your hands need to be to virtually catch the ball. if your hand does not interrupt the IR signal, the pseye knows that there is nothing in that space and sends the right data to the game to say that you failed to catch the ball.

this is why there is a limit on what kind of games or app it can do because the hardware is limited in that way. i understand that the pseye also does facial recognition, edge tracking and stuff, but its still limited in a sense that the tech is dated and somewhat basic. its stuff that normal pc webcams can already do.

the kinect on the other hand works on a almost similar principle but the fundamental difference is that the IR signal is encoded before it gets sent out.

basically the IR doesn't just detect space. it 'sees' what kind of shapes or stuff are in the space. The IR signal that gets returned to the kinect is processed and it knows what is in the space, like a hand, head, finger or leg.

see how the kinect is more powerful in that sense? don't forget that the kinect can detect multiple objects (players) simultaneously, calculate depth (it knows how far you are away from the kinect) and does voice recognition (something the ps eye also have i think) as well.

it's here already, i think. SG unit.
