With recent progress in the Playstation 3 modification scene, growing amounts of innovative console modifications are surfacing on the internet.
Last week the above video was posted to YouTube which shows ‘proof of concept’ of an idea that could pave the way to further developments in multiplatform accessories and homebrew code, much to the dismay and embarrassment of Sony and Microsoft.
The video details the developer of the modification; Shantanu Goel, using Microsoft’s Kinect sensor to interact with Sony’s Playstation 3! Not only does he navigate the Menus of the Playstation, he also boots up Killzone 3 and shows possibilites for future developments.
There are issues with many standard functions the Kinect offers, however Goel is working to enable these features for use with the Playstation, his developments are updated on Twitter here.
There have been several lawsuits entailing Sony and creators of software upgrades for the Playstation that allow the execution of homebrew applications, so who knows whats in store for the enthusiast.
Is Kinect better than the Move? Should this kind of thing be accepted as innovation in the eyes of corporate games giants like Sony and Microsoft? Do you want to look like a psychotic lunatic whilst you play FPS games online? Let us know in the comments section below.
