PS3 motion controller R&D – from PVC pipe to prototype
Did you know that the first prototype of the PS3 motion controller began with a PVC pipe from Home Depot? For today, Anton Mikhailov, software engineer at SCEA‘s R&D department, takes us through the development process of the PS3 motion controller, right from the little wand’s humble beginnings, the on-going development, and the possibilities that it will bring to gaming.

You might remember Mikhailov from E3 as the guy holding the wand during the presentation of the PS3 motion controller. As it turns out, he’s the right hand man to Richard Marks, senior researcher at SCEA.
Another motion controller update will be coming up next week, so check back and get the goods right here.
