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."

Aggie The voice command to auto turn on was not Microsofts idea. Devices have had it for a while now.


Yes, But Not For Consoles.

Both consoles have it just another thing for the fanboys to argue on. Personally I won't be using this feature as I don't see the point.

GMC Wow ps4 sounding like xbox now a big fat FAIL


oh boy here we go with the crappy fanboy comments.


Nothing bad about the truth though.


The truth is fanboys,Are not gamers at all.Don't ever call you're a gamer.

Not gonna lie, I figured they would have implemented this in the first place, and not steal off of the Xbox One.

It's the way of the future.

Honestly at this point I can't tell if Sony is deliberately stealing things from the Xbox One, or implementing them into their console just so that it is the same as Xbox One but cheaper and slightly more powerful. Sigh. If it's the second option, this could go bad after a while. So much stuff and a small price just to one-up someone will eventually catch up to them.

Also: To the comments about fanboys, PS4 users do it just as much to the Xbox section. It's natural, nothing you can do.
