Sony taps Zeo Mode for Eye software

When Sony touted its hardware-musclebound PlayStation 3 game console as a total entertainment system, it wasn’t kidding. The machine does a lot more than let you play high-end games, play Blu-ray movies and occasionally cure cancer. Now, it can also be used to record and edit pictures, videos and audio with the help of an outfit called Zoe Mode.

Sony introduces a camera that attaches to the PS3 simply called Eye. It comes with a program called EyeCreate developed by Zoe Mode where users can manipulate media to their liking and upload them to popular video site YouTube.

“It’s really, fun – pure old school stuff. You’d never get a chance to make anything like that elsewhere in the industry these days,” says studio head Ed Daly of the new dimensions that the product brings to the PS3.

Essentially, what the system does is capture images with Eye and saves them to the PS3’s hard drive. From there, users will have the ability to access what Daly calls “a YouTube-esque back end” that will include a number of upload and community features. Eventually, the peripheral hopes to have significant applications when the PS3 Home online community picks up some steam.
