PlayStation Eye is an essential accessory for voice, video chat and online gaming that will enable gamers to enjoy their PlayStation 3 (PS3) experiences like never before.
Designed specifically for PS3 and featuring huge advances in USB camera and microphone technology, PlayStation Eye is set to revolutionise the experience of online communication on the PlayStationNetwork. Expanding on the market-leading heritage of the EyeToy USB Camera for PlayStation 2, the sophistication of the PlayStation Eye naturally complements the advanced features and capabilities of PS3 – all in one slickly designed, unobtrusive unit.
Designed specifically to work with the next generation of social gaming titles and new services being developed for PS3.
Key features of the PlayStation Eye include:
- A sophisticated microphone with the ability to reduce background noise and focus on the spoken word for smoother, more accurate speech recognition and transfer
- The ability to capture videos and audio clips directly to your PS3’s hard disk drive
- Engineered to perform well even in low-light conditions
- A range of different capturing modes, including slow motion and time-lapse
- Faster frame rate for improved tracking, responsiveness and smoothness
- Two position zoom lens for close-up and full body options
- A range of eye-catching visual effects to apply to photos and videos
- Bundled with EyeCreate editing software, which allows users to save and edit photos, video and audio clips
EyeCreate software
EyeCreate editing software, bundled free with PlayStation Eye allows you to save photos, video and audio clips to your PS3 hard disk drive and apply eye-catching visual effects to your images. Different capture modes like time-lapse and slow motion open up a world of possibilities to be explored further in EyeCreate’s editing suite, where you can turn your media into professional looking movies.
New microphone functions
An all-new four microphone array, incorporating multidirectional voice location tracking, enhanced echo cancelling and background noise suppression allows for clear audio chat in even the most noisy of environments, without the need to hold or wear a headset.
Next-generation camera features
A frame rate of up to 120 frames per second allows for super-smooth video and sophisticated low-light operation means that the room doesn’t have to be brightly lit for the camera to deliver crisp, perfectly exposed video. The adjustable zoom lens features a 56 degree field of view to capture head and shoulders action for close-in audio-visual chat, and a 75 degree field of view to capture the whole body for a fully physical gaming experience.
