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."

ODST so copying the Kinect but still not a required piece of hardware. +1 for Sony.


Kinect is only required to buy not use.
And it will be worth it in the long run considering you need it for all the awesome new features.


I don't wanna be forced into buying a kinect/ps camera, I'll buy it when I want to.

This is the same as the kinect, I don't really mind though, its a nice idea.

I really think that they aren't copying the Kinect with this, they were going to come out with a motion tracking device and it is just known that they would also include voice commands. I wonder how much this will cost separately, I think it will cost at least $59 but I don't see it as expensive as the Kinect.
