EyeTouch: a look (literally) inside Sony's EyePet
Currently making the rounds is Technology Review's look at "five futuristic interfaces" on display at SIGGRAPH 2009 (including a few previously featured on Offworld), but more immediately commercialized is the one above: Sony's EyePet, due out this holiday for PS3 and recently captured live by Engadget.
Though its Monchichi-esque design has never quite struck a chord with me, the interface to X-ray peer directly into his little body suddenly did, and now I'm officially sold. [via Augmentify]

Augmented reality gaming for PS3? That's a good idea. A digitally networked "meatspace" gaming experience might be able to put a cool new spin on table-top gaming. Imagine taking a game like Warhammer and adding a real-time element to the turn structure.

The only accessories it requires are the Playstation Eye, the included magic cards, and a large white coffee table placed directly in front of your television.
