Sony To Topple Wii With PS3 Glove?
The initial price of PS3, combined with the lack of supply and the hoopla over the Wii controller has propelled Nintendo to the top of the pack for the time being.
But if the PS3 had a power glove that actually did what it's supposed to do, would the balance of power change? Well, Sony has applied for a patent for a "Hand-held computer interactive device" that's quite intriguing.
Here's a glimpse of the possible future, courtesy of Unwired Review:
This 3D game controller is designed to be held in your hands, is able to capture all your palm and finger movements and transmit them as commands to your PlayStation 3 or Vaio PC. You can pick up and manipulate various objects on screen just by squeezing and relaxing your fingers.
The device is even able to give you a tactile feedback. That is, you will be able to “feel” when you pick up or press something on the screen.
Add to it a few gyroscopes and 3D hand motion detection technology described in previous Sony patents and they may have a perfect 3D game controller for your PlayStation 3 soon.
