Sony’s EyePet
Posted by Joer | Filed under Cool stuff, Technology
Have a look at this video of Sony's EyePet, (skip to about 1:00 to see it in action). It's a kind of virtual pet using the Playstation camera, but the level of interaction is amazing. You can even draw toys for it, which appear in the game.
Eurogamer's 'Hands on' article has more info.

Posted by Matta | Filed under Cool stuff, Technology
