Now that Sony has joined its two rivals (Microsoft and Nintendo) in the world of motion sensors, developers have begun evolving the idea of a gesture controlled desktop PC’s. In other words, your PlayStation Move controller will be used as a magical wand/mouse. One developer by the name of Jacob Pennock has already demonstrated that through the use of the new mouse you can wave the wand in the air forming an “F” on the screen and open a Facebook page from your Linux-based desktop. In further detail, the PS3 records the motion registered by the Move controller, which by the way is connected via Bluetooth, through the use of the PS3 Eye and transmits the data over a network to your computer. The technology is in the “closed beta” stages of its development but the group is working hard to add more gestures to their recognition library for the public this spring. Here’s a demo below:
