Dogs and cats are boring. Especially when you compare it to Sony’s interactive EyePet. Sony Europe released a batch of fun and fuzzy images its pet to fill your heart with warmth and love. Check out those costumes!
Here, in the dulcet tones of our very own Stephen Totilo, is a narrated glimpse at the EyePet, the Playstation 3′s camera-based augmented reality… pet?
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s EyePet is one of the increasing number of games that’s hard to go hands-on with. The augmented reality pet-simulation is played mostly by interacting with an adorable on-screen creature with little more than your hands.
Yes, you too can be the proud owner of that with Sony’s family title for the PlayStation 3, EyePet.
Sony’s Games Convention press conference saw the announcement of one brand new and rather interesting title, one that takes advantage of the PlayStation Eye in impressive new ways. EyePet, a virtual pet game for the PlayStation 3, lets players customise and interact with the “simian-like” titular beast, a furry digital companion that responds to user commands via the camera accessory.
EyePet takes advantage of technology we’ve seen previously in PS3 demos, allowing users to draw and scan in objects that the in-game creature will play with. The EyePet is said to remember objects it is shown and modify its behaviour for objects that it is unfamiliar with.
Announced only for PAL markets so far, EyePet is said to ship in late 2009, giving us ample time to learn more about it.
