I stayed and watched a special session about video game controllers. I was introduced to the "DDR" (Dance, Dance, Revolution) phenomenon and a new version of the game that is called Karaoke Revolution. This game detects the pitch of your voice and you sing along as well as dance at the same time on a pad and the eye toy tracks you. It looks really fun and will be available for all consoles for Christmas.
DDR is helping kids (and adults) to get in shape and now is helping them to learn to sing. My kids will love this.
Sony demoed a new eye toy that detects depth of field and the guy demoed various environments. One that was very interesting was where he played raquetball with a beach ball using his arms. An onscreen skeletion tracked his movements. Motion capture is merging with video games!
