    It may have something to do with the new controller having a touch-pad, a better gyroscope, a multi-color led that may be able to be tracked by PS Eye 2, a speaker and an audio connector.

    Even if games are forced to support the Vita for remote play, that would still be a lot less limiting than having to force to use a DS3 actually.

    Would be pretty interesting to see how a PS4 version of a Wonderbook game would do by the way:

    (especially with 3D support)

    That Nightcrawler game looks a lot more interesting than the Rowling one. It focuses on interaction with the book, and story telling. The kids didn't use Move at all. They used their bare hands. Should be PS4 material.

    I think Move is more suitable for activities with a bat or tool in-hand.

    Hope they focus on deep story and puzzles, even for kids, not shallow activities like EyePet.

    Would like to see more of the Dinosaur Wonderbook next.

    EDIT: it should be interesting with tablets/phones and Internet integration too.

    The Pulse Elite Edition comes with a 3.5mm audio cable adapter for use with other devices.

    The USB adaptor in the regular and Elite versions may not use standard BT. It should be seen as a USB device.

    The headset is integrated with PS3 via an app. While you can use it with a PC, I think not all its features are available. I suspect it would be the same for PS4 until someone releases the relevant software for PS4.

    Wow. I'm impressed, I especially like 0:27-0:33 :wink:. If anyone at Sony is reading this, support Occulus Rift or some VR type headset and throw me inside of a fractal... I'm sure users of a certain substance would buy the hell out of that.

    Very leap motion, I wonder once people do tear downs of the leap motion if they'll just find two cheap cameras similar to this...

    As for the new playstation eye, there is no reason why it can't do something similar. However, bear in mind that the fidelity of it's tracking is linear based on distance from camera (and separation of cameras). So this "duo" (and leap motion) are very accurate since the subject is very close to the cameras, so the sepration is greater allowing for better tracking. However, once your subject is farther away, the relative distance between the "eyes" is less making 3d tracking less precise, along with detail at which it is tracking scales as well (up close finger tracking is possible, but at long distances, it couldn't do fingers, but more limbs).

    If the user is close, PSEye could track individual fingers on both hands too, captured @ 240fps in 320x240 (120fps for 640x480, and so on). Then add computation and communication overhead.

    Duo tracks up to 178fps (640x480/320x240). But the distance to the user's hands should be relatively constant because it's looking up.

    The official specs for the DS4 has a flat 4 pin connector besides the headset jack, called the Extention Port. Maybe they plan on having more features as part of the headset, could be leds for tracking or something.

    PSEye is 120FPS at 320x240 & 640x480 at 60FPS but the PC driver has managed to get it upto 187 at 320x240 & 75FPS at 640x480.

    PSEye is a amazing camera.

    Ah, should have clarified I meant the PS4 PSEye. My resolution was a little off anyway:

    May be for controller accessories like a steering wheel attachment ?

    Vita also has a "mysterious" accessory port.
