Imagine the possiblities, especially once users can connect with others through the tubes.

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.

The only thing I hope is that people will still appreciate the authenticity of a real animal.

A campaign by the WSPA calling for a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare at the United Nations.

“Many millions of animals face a life of mistreatment, cruelty, pain and suffering as a result of human indifference, neglect and a lack of education,” said Emily Reeves, WSPA Program Manager. “The time has come to protect billions of animals from cruelty by officially recognising their importance and their welfare at a global level.  “WSPA is delighted to work with The Body Shop to help animals around the world. What better way to act, and feel, beautiful by doing your part to make this historic initiative for animals a reality.”

So go and sign the declaration.
