Sony and it's "Eye-Toy"


The EyeToy is a color digital camera device, similar to a webcam, for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. The technology uses computer vision to process images taken by the camera. This allows players to interact with games using motion, color detection and also sound, through its in-built microphone.
Augmented virtuality (AV) (also referred to as Mixed reality) refers to the merging of real world objects into virtual worlds.
As an intermediate case in the
Virtuality Continuum, it refers to predominantly virtual spaces, where physical elements, e.g. physical objects or people, are dynamically integrated into, and can interact with the virtual world in real-time. This integration is achieved with the use of various techniques. Often streaming video from physical spaces, e.g. via webcam, , or using 3-dimensional digitalisation of physical objects.
