Patent filings for an LED motion sensing input device has surfaced via SiliconEra. According to the diagrams provided in the filing, it looks like the new Sony technology will use an inexpensive camera, i.e. the EyeToy, and either a thin wand or even a pair of finger rings which can be detected by the camera. It appears the technology, at least originally, was being developed for the PS2, as the aging console is depicted in the illustrations. With the recent filing of the material, however, it may be getting ported over to the PS3. Then again, it may be seen as the technology that’s going to make the PS2 a direct competitor to Wii, ostensibly extending the marketable life of the console for several more years. Below you’ll find a couple of illustrations used in the filing:
