PlayStation 3 Exclusive Controller Announced
Sony Computer Entertainment has just announced the controller for the PlayStation 3 – a High Accuracy & Quick Response, equipped with a 6 Axies detecting system. Here comes the rough translation of the Japanese press release, just sent out minutes ago:
Sony Computer Entertainment now announces the exclusive controller for PlayStation 3 on E3 2006.
The PS3 exclusive controller inherits the basic design of the popular DualShock PlayStation controllers, but with better controllability. The newly added “High Accuracy & Quick Response 6 Axies detecting System” is a system that requires no configuration of external add-on devices. In this way, users won’t have to go through any inconvenient setup process to get it to work. Meanwhile, it is possible to keep the 6-axis detecting while accessing the PlayStation 3 console via network, which brings a whole new dimension of entertainment experience to the players.
The new element of the “PS3 Exclusive Controller” is the introducing of the 3 dimensions – Roll (tilt left or right), Pitch (tilt back and forth), Yaw (move left or right), enabling the controller to read the acceleration information of the 3-axis (XYZ) in real-time with high accuracy. Added with the analog and digital key input, the controller now becomes a part of the player to bring “natural” and “intuitional” control to gamers.
To get rid of the interfiece of the vibration and ensure the accuracy of the 6-axis system, the vibration function came with the PS and PS2 games will be cancelled on PlayStation 3.
On the other hand, the L2/R2 button on the upper face of the controller have been redesigned, which enables even more accurate measurement of the stroke and press of the keys. The lean angle of the analog sticks is also larger than the old design, which makes accurate controlling possible. With this modification, the detection accuracy has been upgraded from 8-bit to 10-bit.
The inputted information will be transferred through the fast wireless communication technology “Bluetooth”. However, you can still switch to wired interface using USB cable, which is also used to charge the battery inside the controller. You can switch back to wireless connection by removing the USB cable.
