PS Move Stress Tests, Using Lighting Changes And Human Distractions

The PlayStation Move can be flummoxed by bright sunlight. That's the one stress test Sony's new motion controller failed in a series of trials involving a range of lighting conditions and human distraction to which we subjected the Move.

Lighting Tests

The PlayStation Move wand used the PlayStation Eye camera to track it's movement in 3D space. The Eye and Move sync during a calibration test that involves the orb at the tip of the Move wand illuminating in a color that does not match anything else in the Eye's range of view. That technique allows the Eye to track the Move better than it can a human body, which is what older camera-based games tried to do. Those older games were often bedeviled by anything other than ideal lighting. To ensure Move is an improvement, we needed to try different lighting conditions.

Starting on Sunday, I tested the PlayStation Move under four lighting conditions: standard daytime sun, bright sunlight, nighttime lamp illumination and room darkness.

Sunday afternoon (normal light)...

Define common sense. If common sense is so rare, it must not be common.

It used to be comon, it isn't anymore

Thats why you have lawyers making small fortunes, adverts for blame lawyers, a suing culture and stupid warnings on things like "this is sharp do not stab yourself"

The world is going to stupid hell
