The Move platform consists of the Move motion controller; the sub-controller; and the PlayStation Eye camera, a device that's already available.
The Move motion controller "delivers unmatched accuracy through a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor" as well as a color-changing sphere that the PlayStation Eye camera tracks visually, Sony said.
The system detects both swift and subtle motions ranging from swinging a tennis racket to painting with a brush. Users can provide direct input through action buttons and an analog trigger while receiving physical feedback from what Sony calls "rumble functionality."
Users will get visual feedback from different colors displayed by the system. The PlayStation Eye camera will also capture the player's voice and image to enable an augmented reality experience. In other words, you'll be in the game and outside of it at the same time -- in your mind, at least.
The Move sub-controller comes with an analog stick and direction buttons. It has a built-in lithium ion rechargeable battery and Bluetooth capability.
PlayStation 3 owners can substitute Sony's DualShock vibration-feedback gamepads or its SixAxis controllers for the Move sub-controller.
Sony has not yet decided on the price.
