Sony announces new Motion Controller, aiming for spring 2010 launch

Sony announce and demonstrated a new motion controller at E3 2009 press conference,  Sony show off tech demos of their upcoming motion controller,  the two-part controller due out in spring of next year.

The controller consists of two wands, which the user holds in their hands, while the PS3 camera tracks the movement and translates it into on-screen movement. In conjunction with the camera, the motion controllers can be replaced with other items, such as tennis racket. The prototype of the new controller showed a glowing sphere on the end of the stick. The PlayStation Eye tracks it. The demonstration showed 1-to-1 motion control. On the screen, the controller became a racket in the guy’s hand, changing into various other tools, such as swords and guns.

The ability to use two controllers is there as well, and with one in each hand you can play with building blocks, paint, use a sword and shield and fire virtual arrows.

We will have more information on this from Sony soon.
