Motion sensing is very much a big thing now. Take for example one of the block buster movies which was just recently released. This movie goes by the name of Avatar and was directed by James Cameron. He had used a variety of special equipments to create this movie totally in 3D and most of this equipment was actually motion sensing equipment. How it worked was that real life actors would put on these motion sensing equipment and be filmed such that their movements could be captured by the computer and later these movements are animated into a three dimensional movie. Other than avatar, there have been other movie makers or directors who have been using such technology to create their movies and animation.
Motion sensing is not something new actually. Just recently I understand that Microsoft is unveiling some new motion sensing xbox game known as kinect. To play this xbox game, you would have to wear some motion sensing equipment which would be detected by the peripherals attached to the xbox console and translated into movements within the game. Then of course there is the older eye toy usb camera which has been used as a usb toy by Sony playstation for a host of their playstation games. The eye toys usb camera is used for by the Sony playstation 2. I also believe that they have created a new eye toy usb camera for the playstation 3 known as the Playstation Eye. The PlayStation Eye is a newer and updated version of the EyeToy USB webcam designed for the PlayStation 3. However and unfortunately, it does not work with PS2 EyeToy games, but the PS3 does support the PlayStation 2 EyeToy, using its camera and microphone functionalities. Of course if you have the PlayStation 3, it is best that you purchase the newer USB eye toy.
