Sony Opens PlayStation Move

Sony just announced Move. Me, a tool to exploit the capabilities of its PlayStation Move. Remember that the Move is a Playstation controller, whose movements are monitored by gyroscopes and PlayStation Eye webcam. For researchers, students and enthusiasts, said the statement, it is possible to use the new controller from Sony as computer peripheral.

It will still go through a PlayStation 3. The data is sent to the console, then transmitted to the computer. Sony is considering the development of projects related to medicine and rehabilitation of patients or give experience to students working on developing video games. Move. I will be available for download on the PlayStation Network this spring.

Sony will provide templates and code documentation. He also announced he will not ask for a license, or purchase an SDK for PS3. Needless to say it's a direct response to the opening of KINECTS by Microsoft. The Japanese hoped to create the same enthusiasm that reigns around the competing system.

We doubt however that this is enough. Move the Playstation has been less about him than KINECTS and it has rarely exceeded the scope of the game on PS3.
