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.
