    Meh. Natal has already touted this. And has the ability to do it much better than the crappy hardware of the PS Eye

    @BubbleF**kingBuddy: Well, to be honest, no it couldn't! And still can't. -_-.

    The Playstation Eye has been out since just a bit after the PS2 came out. So it's been quite a while. The PlayStation Eye is ONLY A LOW RESOLUTION CAMERA!

    While Natal is a combination of: A monochrome infrared sensor able to track the depth of each pixel, thus able to track your movements in 3D space. A long a high resolution digital camera beside it for importing you and stuff you want into the game. And also face recognition and all that jazz.

    The PS Eye is very primitive compared to Natal.

    @Ian Grams: I think six axsis is better than wii motion.

    My Reasoning:
    It's built into a standard controller, not in its own motion device. It says to developers "remember, people really like their buttons so we're not going to let you forget that, but if you feel a motion gesture would help game play, you can utilize that as well.

    In reply to What To Know About iPhoto '09 Face Detection and Recognition
    Has anyone tested how much the quality of the photo effects face recognition results? I would think that the 2MP camera in the iPhone would produce crappy results compared to any 5MP+ point & shoot camera or a 10MP+ DSLR.

    @dagamer34: I can tell you quality doesn't always matter, since not only does it recognize me in crappy scans and older JPEGs, but it can find me in blurry frames in the background of newer hi-rez photos. It's impressive on that score.

    The worst thing about iPhoto is that it has no dedicated mode for learning unknown faces. Unlike Picasa web site, which can list all unrecognized faces and let you tag them all at once.


    In iPhoto you have to tag them manually and then go to Faces view to manually check each name if it has new suggestions. And there is no indication if it has such suggestions, you have to scroll it all the way down. Pretty frustrating. A simple icon showing availability of new suggestions would help ALOT.

    @.max: It would be ANNOYING to see all unidentified faces all at once, when you have a library of 30,000, or even 5,000 photos. Apple wants you to tag your friends and family, and in this case, I think that's the smarter approach. It's not a flaw, it's a choice (I asked!).
