When computer games were introduced, people used keyboard and mouse to play games on it. Then, somebody thought about the idea of using joystick and so, people started messing with joysticks to enjoy their favorite game. Later, light gun, game pad, throttle quadrant, pedals and steering wheels were invented to immerse the player in the game. In past few years, touch screen has taken over the market and so, there are tonnes of games available on iStore that people really love to play. And today, Sony has introduced PlayStation Move – A revolutionary game controller that would completely immerse the player into the game.
Currently, this awesome device is being made available only to PlayStation 3 but however, in future, a PC version might be introduced.
Take a look at the video below
This revolutionary game controller has taken my breath away and I’m impatiently waiting for it’s release to get one of it.
PlayStation Move is a motion sensing game controller compatible with Sony PlayStation 3. It consists of a handheld motion controller wand (right), navigation controller (left) and PlayStation eye camera. The camera detects the position of the wand while the inertial sensors in the wand detect the motion. With this combination, the player feels as if he’s totally immersed in the game. The inertial sensors also keep track of the amount of force applied and speed at which controller is being moved or waived. These sensors are similar to those used in Apple iPhone 4.
I think that the navigation controller does not contain any sensors but it is only meant for navigating the menus of your PlayStation.
By revealing the device to public, Sony has made it’s intentions of competing Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360 clear to serious gamers. Now, I’m not going much into the technical specifications of the device but this device is going to be great for those who play action, adventure and sport games on their PlayStation. For action games, you’ll actually punch your opponent and the great part is, the harder you punch, harder will the opponent get hit in the game. For sport games, you will actually aim and shoot at your target which sounds great to me.
This great device is expected to be launched in mid of September 2010.
