Report: PS4 to support voice commands, recognition with camera

4.1
The PlayStation 4 will support "navigational voice commands" and "facial recognition" through the PlayStation Camera, according to YouTube user lex1020's recording of a slide from Sony's presentation at GameStop Expo 2013.

At the GameStop Expo, SCEA's Group Manager of Retail Training and Advocacy Sean Coleman described the camera's ability to "track your body movements in games or even recognize your face for easier system navigation."

A Sony Computer Entertainment spokesperson confirmed with Polygon that the PlayStation Camera "allows for voice recognition" and that more details will be shared "in the lead up to the launch of the PlayStation 4."

iJarH3ad Copy cat Sony.. SMH Sony is always copy Microsoft like online, friends list, party chat and other stuff.


Online, Friends list? Erm Microsoft copied online from the inventor of the internet, and friends lists was out well before Xbox (phone books) so maybe re-think that.

This just put the Xbone in the dirt. If you were getting it for voice commands well looks like sony has them to for a cheap $60 camera.

PS4 is $100 cheaper
More powerful
Doesn't force you to buy a camera.

Nuff' said.

aundeadrockstar Lol Sony, Bashing on Microsoft and then stealing there stuff =p


Stealing their stuff?? I think you need to do some research..
XBOX copied the touch-sensitive power button from playstation and XBOX are copying playstation with the blu-ray player....


Thing is Sony is far from being original with those ideas. Also, who cares about the sensitive button, and Blu-ray isn't Sony's, as I said.
Too bad Sony invented Blu Ray and holds the most profitable patents for it. No one cares if you say Blu Ray isn't Sony's lmao. As for the whole "copying" argument every company gaming or non gaming "copies" get over it nobody cares it's only positive things that they're "copying" anyways.


Yeah, Game Company copies each other, it don't matter what game company your talking about. They all copy each other. Why da f*ck does people care if companies copy each other! :/

Kinda a waste of technology for Sony though. Since it's not included with every console only a little amount of people will buy it, thus game developers won't use the technology in their game. Not including it was a poor move buy Sony in my eyes. It may have lowered the price but games will be less advanced than what could have been. Software inconstancy at its finest, kinda a shame.

It goes both ways, so no point saying PS copy everything when they clearly don't..
