An Eye on the world

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announces the imminent arrival of PlayStation® Eye for PlayStation 3.

Entertainment on PlayStation 3 continues to evolve thanks to the arrival of PlayStation Eye in 2007. The motion-sensitive camera, which includes a noise cancelling microphone all within a sleek package, ushers in the next generation of camera technology for the PlayStation family.

Incorporating significant advances in USB camera and microphone technology, PlayStation Eye features low-light sensing to ensure crisp, perfectly exposed video in poorly lit areas.

A faster frame rate (up to a data-busting 120 frames per second - most films are shown at 24 fps in cinemas) and two-position zoom offers an enhanced game experience with improved tracking and responsiveness, as well as close-up and full body options.

The quality of captured audio is vastly improved thanks to four in-built microphones which help to cut out echo and background noise, meaning audio chat remains clear even in noisy environments.

PlayStation Eye arrives later this year bundled with EyeCreate™, a software package for use with PS3 that lets you create your very own entertainment. Save and edit photos, video and audio clips direct to your PS3 and indulge your creative spirit by applying eye-catching visual effects or using one of the special capturing modes, including slow motion and time-lapse. Alternatively, use EyeCreate's editing suite to turn your media into professional looking movies.
