Sony GDC Eye Tracking Demo with Infamous Second Son

Sony's virtual reality headset already stacks up nicely against the Oculus Rift, but the company could also have a secret weapon. Last year, Sony revealed it was working on technology to let you control games with your eyes — technology that we just tried here at the 2014 Game Developers Conference. The same Sony team behind the Project Morpheus VR headset, the PlayStation Move, and the PlayStation Camera are also showing off a modified version of Infamous: Second Son where your eyes control where your character is looking.

With a special camera and software from SensoMotoric Instruments, setup is a breeze — you simply look at two different points on the screen — and then whenever you look at anything in the game, the camera rotates to center it in your view. We actually found it quicker and more accurate to aim at things than with the analog stick itself, no mean feat, and we were quickly wreaking havoc by throwing fireballs with pinpoint precision at traffic signs, trash cans, and the occasional enemy.

However, Sony's Eric Larsen says that the company believes it could actually miniaturize the components and bring down the price enough that eye-tracking could fit in a virtual reality headset like the Morpheus, which could create some exciting possibilities. In addition to controlling a character, eye-tracking inside a VR headset could theoretically be used to further enhance the player's sense of presence by faking depth of field, allowing your eyes to "focus" on virtual objects similarly to the way they focus in the real world. It also could allow game developers to explore mechanics where the player needs to avoid looking at certain things, like the bombs in the eye-tracking game of Fruit Ninja we played two years ago.

Morpheus just got a w hole lot better providing they can fit the tech into the headset.

As someone else pointed out VR uses more resources since it has to render two different POV for each eye but with this tech if they know where your eyes is looking then they can focus on rendering where you're looking at with the most detail.

There are plenty of other possibilities too.

Traded a pair of kicks today for OG 80GB PS3, 2 controllers and 4 games (NBA 2K11-13 and Sports Champions

) first order of business was to fire up FF XII. I was so close to buying a PS2 to get to some games I never played back in the day, this solves everything for me

Looking to cop....

Dragon Quest VIII

Grandia III

and whatever else is good...eventually

[carver]

Best thing about the update right there 

No more reflection on the TV

.. and that was probably the main reason the DS4s battery was so ****

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

light bar doesn't bother me at all, but that's good for the people that don't like it

 

[Ricky D]

Yea I could care less about the light in the DS4 but if it makes battery life longer Im all for it

Seems like his jimmies were...resstled

 

[sole vintage]

preloading games on PS4 will not happen until April, and for North America

 

[carver]

Don't know how yall weren't annoyed by it.

Playing at night times and seeing that blue all the time 

 But if you're sitting on the floor or far away you may not see it.

Pretty much my only complaint about the DS4 was the lightbar and battery life.. that update probably fixes both 

 

[Ricky D]

I really hope a B2G1 deal comes around within the next few months. Im not gonna pick up I:SS just yet since Im stacked with FF games for awhile but I wouldnt mind getting it along with Wolfenstein and something else that drops in May

IDK bruh, I just didnt really pay it no mind. Then again, I usually never play in the complete dark, most of the time I keep a lamp on, gotta be able to see those snacks

 

[iYen]

The light was super annoying when you'd watch a bluray.

I just wrapped a shirt around the controller, to trap the light.

Only bothered me when Im watching Iplayer or a film. It doesn't bother me with games though.

Lets see what it does for battery life as well

 

[NCtwin]

I turn the controller off when I watch a movie. There's really no need for it to be on at the time IMO.

 

[Ricky D]

My DS4 turns off after 10 min of non-usage but at the same time Im still using my PS3 for Netflix and movie watching
