Smile competition is cool but it's just a start. There could be a whole face-decathlon. Wink competition will be my best event.
I think I heard something about you turning your head making you turn your head in-game in Gran Turismo 5.
They're just trying to say that the PSEye offers many of the same functions as NATAL... yes, it's got a bit of voice and face recognition, it's got a built in scanner, it's an HD camera that can detect movement - and they still haven't created a game that really uses much of this.
The eyetoy was around in the PS2 era. Aside from games like Play and Groove (which were early versions of the current "active games" fad) Sony doesn't seem to know what to do with this tech or how to use it in games. I suspect that the same will hold true for NATAL and Microsoft. The stuff is cool and all, and it's neat to scan textures in for Little Big Planet level design - but overall, no one as yet has been able to create a "killer app" for the tech.

I find it hilarious that all this is coming out after Natal's announcement. First Sony said that the Eye can do body recognition, and now facial recognition on top of that. This is all from a camera that's been out for quite a while already. Now let's see it all be put to good use.
As a gimmick, that's pretty cool. Technology is surely becoming more impressive over the years. But yeah. As a full game, I haven't seen any of these concepts actually holding up.
It's really almost as if Sony is waiting for MS to show them what to do next.
Also more games need to use the camera to use as a custom face on your characters. Rainbow Six is the only game I know that does it. Bring it to Home at least.

@Celica yea that kind of tech has been around since the N64 days if anyone remembers. idk why companies haven't been using it.
as for this whole photo recog. stuff, at least the tech is growing. sony can't force people to use nor can they magically make a use for every single tech breakthrough.
but seriously, I don't see this, natal, or anything similiar having any great impact on gamers who only play quality hardcore games. this kinda crap has never done well, since the powerglove to the guncon which actually has a legit use. even the instrument ones can only be used with a couple games, so their sales/use have to be a fraction of what the actual games sold.
@pedro I find it hilarious that Natal is essentially a psEye
