A new level of interactivity using technologies unseen in the industry has been presented at Leipzig Games Convention.

Overview

It won't make a mess on the floor or claw at the curtains; it is the perfect pet for kids and adults alike.

EyePet is a responsive virtual pet that reacts to your every move, providing entertainment and fun for the whole family, plus it's pretty cute as well.

EyePet comes with an impressive array of abilities all made possible by PLAYSTATION Eye, the next-generation camera for PLAYSTATION 3. A loveable, simian-like pet, EyePet lives in an on-screen picture of your sitting room as captured by PLAYSTATION Eye.

Working in Augmented Reality, EyePet is fully aware of people in the room and will interact with you and your environment. Place an object in front of the camera that EyePet has seen before and it'll know exactly what to do with it; give it something new and it'll examine it thoroughly. Tickle it by waving your fingers in front of the camera and it laughs; poke it and it jumps; roll it a ball and EyePet chases around the screen after it.

An incredibly lifelike little critter, EyePet gives you all the lovable benefits and interaction of a real-life pet without tearing up your sofa or making a mess on the rug. Kids and adults alike will love to customise it, dress it and watch its facial expressions that range from the sweet to the cheeky to the hilarious. It's all made possible by the power of PS3 which has enabled EyePet's developers to achieve incredible graphics and animation in its facial reactions, lifelike fur and incredibly intelligent interaction with you, your environment and anything you choose to place in front of it.


Here is a video of it in action.

That video is amazing. I doubt it would hold my attention once the wow factor wore off, but I think my 5 year old would LOVE it.

Wonder if it's like a tamagotchi, like, you'll have to feed it and if you don't it dies

My family loved the video.  I think it looks very cool and I'd love to play it.  But I'm thinking about an hour would be enough for me.

I am thinking the same... I'd love to play this, but I think it will get very old very fast (for grown ups at least).

Maybe you could rent it?  Although you'd need to already have the camera, although I've heard that any usb webcam would work with the PS3..

I heard the same thing.  But we've both heard wrong.

Still, I wouldn't mind getting the camera anyway for other purposes.
