Project Natal vs. PlayStation Move

Microsoft has generated some big buzz with the revelation of Project Natal, a new camera-based system that requires no controller, just the movement of your body to function. And Sony officially announced PlayStation Move, a controller setup that utilizes a camera and a remote-like controller to interact with the screen.

I kind of prefer the project natal, i think it going be a must for home entertainment. I like the way the user interact with the console such as using voice to select movie and answering the question. But by using our whole body movement to play game (Action game) may tired our body fast. If not careful enough while playing fighting game can get one injure. So i think it may not be possible to play game like Halo or Battlefield unless you train yourself like SOF. As for PlayStation Move, since it only a short video so not much detail was provided. But seem to resemble Nintendo Wii.

Handheld wireless visual interface PS3

One techknott has just finished up his latest creation, a WVI (wireless visual interface) for Sony’s PlayStation 3 console. With this device he can play PS3 anywhere in his house. Take note this is not a portable PS3, inside it does not contain any PS3 console hardware. It uses an RF receiver to pick up AV signals. A 1.2GHz wireless transmitter is used to get the controller commands to the PS3, and the same is used in reverse to get the video signals from the console to the homegrown device. At the moment the guy accidentally blown a TA7176AP chip on the sound reciever board so the sound is kind of low quality and once he fix that it will be on sale.
