Sony's New PS3 motion controller

Sony announced the new motion controller for the PS3 back in June at the annual E3 conference. The prototype looks like a wand with a sphere on top. It's works together with the Playstation Eye Camera, tracking its position on screen - this is very similar to the Wiimote, but that uses an infrared camera in the sensor bar which tracks an infrared light in the Wiimote. It's supposedly got sub-millimeter precision, making it far more precise than the Wiimote. Sony R&D has put together a video describing how it works, and the process undertaken to design it. According to Sony, games implementing the motion controller will be released in the Spring of 2010.
