In an interview with the Australian Financial Review, SCEE vice president Phil Harrison has made a number of comments regarding the PlayStation 3 and the inclusion within it of new motion sensor technology.
Citing EyeToy as a “signpost for things in the future” Harrison went on to describe a somewhat Orwellian future where consoles would “be able to extrapolate eye movement and gestural [sic] recognition, more complicated finger movement, and the logical next step of that is to deduce from a person's facial expression and demeanour what their emotion state is.”
Harrision also indicated that the company is working on a user interface that would work in a similar manner to the computers in the movie Minority Report, which were controlled directly by the user’s hands.
