Of all the things GDC is known for, it is considered the premiere opportunity for companies to show off the latest technology to revolutionize video games. Sony got an opportunity to show off its latest advance known as head tracking, which uses the Playstation Eye to track the player’s head movements and simulates a virtual reality display.
While the explanation leaves something to be desired, the possibilities when it comes to gameplay are endless. Imagine playing a shooting game and being able to move your body to peek around the wall you’re hiding behind.
Although no announcements have been made yet on how Sony plans on using this technology, it seems Sony may have come up with something to challenge Nintendo’s golden Wii.
