PS2 Virtual Reality

[valtea]

I dont know if this should go to a Hardware section or a Gamers section. Posting it here.

I have seen a Virtual Reality technology used in a PS2. The setup was like this, Ps2 connected to a TV and the something like a USB camera on top which acts as an input device.
Games are played with the camera sensing the movement of the player.

Anyone know of this.. Price dealers etc..


Thank you

I do believe it is available in India for around Rs. 3000. I am not sure about it but I think digit or some other publicaiton had an article on it long back. Check with places that sell PS2s. They might have it.

If you are in Bangalore, the Sony World showrooms stock it but dont know bout the price.

The Eye-Toy, though it might sound kiddish, adds quite a new dimension to gaming on the PS2. Do check out a some new games releasing soon and meant to be played with an eye-toy. Health buffs might want to have a look at "Kinetic"...I hope I got the name right.
