Europe, here comes PlayStation Eye camera: 1, 2, Smile!
We know you’ve been waiting for this, so we won’t mince words. Here’s the big announcement from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) that dropped earlier today: the PlayStation Eye camera will finally be available all across Europe this coming Summer.
SCEE President David Reeves is quite proud of the new accessory. He mentioned that PlayStation Eye is little like the PlayStation 2’s (PS2) EyeToy. He added,
PlayStation Eye has four times the resolution, twice the frame rate and double the sensitivity of its predecessor EyeToy USB Camera. With the technology that we now have at our disposal we will be able to dramatically improve the communications experience enjoyed on PS3.
The camera itself is capable of shooting frame rates of up to 120 frames per second that allows smooth video and advanced low-light operation. This means that the room where you are playing doesn’t have to be well-lit to produce quality video output. PlayStation Eye’s key features and technical specifications include:
Key Features:
- A sophisticated microphone with the ability to reduce background noise and focus on the spoken word for smoother, more accurate speech recognition and transfer
- The ability to capture videos and audio clips directly to your PS3’s hard disk drive
- Engineered to perform well even in low-light conditions
- A range of different capturing modes, including slow motion and time-lapse
- Faster frame rate for improved tracking, responsiveness and smoothness
- Two position zoom lens for close-up and full body options
- A range of eye-catching visual effects to apply to photos and videos
- Bundled with EyeCreate editing software, which allows users to save and edit photos, video and audio clips
Technical Specifications:
