Motion sensors Playstation3

Tag: Interaction design,Usabilityadmin @ 3:34 pm

The controller for the Playstation 3 has been out for quite a while. The controller uses Bluetooth technology that allows wireless operation of the controller, no more cords! But what makes this controller special are the motion sensors in the controller.

By tilting the handle of the controller you can operate the figure on the screen. This allows a much more intuitive operation of the game. You can actually operate it by physical movements. I wonder if they have seen this from one of their competitors, the Wii.

The video of the release can be found at the bottom.
