Sony has announced the new motion controller the PlayStation 3, the controller is named as PlayStation MOVE. The controller looks like a wand with a ping pong ball on top of it which changes colours.
PlayStation Move uses the PlayStation Eye camera to track the wand’s position, and inertial sensors in the wand to detect its motion. Although the controller would be implemented on the existing PlayStation 3 console, but at a later stage it can be used as a new platform that would limit itself to motion gaming only.
The main component of PlayStation Move, the PlayStation Move motion controller is a wand controller which enables the user to interact with the PlayStation 3 through their motion and position in front of the PlayStation Eye webcam.
The Controller features a big Ovoid primary button (Move), which is surrounded by the small action buttons on the four sides; you will also notice a regular-sized PS button, arranged in a similar configuration as on the Blu-ray Disc Remote Control. The Remote also has the Start and Select buttons on the side while you will find an analog trigger underside.
The tail of the remote has a wrist strap, USB port, and extension port. The Controller also has the vibration feature which is based on the Haptic-technology. The orb light of the controller can be used to provide visual feedback, simulating aesthetic effects such as the muzzle flash of a gun, or the paint of a brush.
The PlayStation Eye can monitor up to four MOVE controllers at a time. Like any other wireless controller you would need your MOVE, which is done by the PlayStation Move Charging Station where you can charge two units simultaneously.
Another important part of the controlling unit is the Move Sub-Controller which is used for navigation. It is used in conjunction with the Main Controller for certain types of game plays. You will find the sub controller as a replication to the major functionality of the left side of a standard PlayStation Wireless Controller, the PlayStation Move navigation controller features a left analog stick (with L3 button function), a D-pad, and L1 and L2 analog triggers.
The navigation controller also features the action buttons, as well as a PS button. So the navigation controller is similar to the SIXAXIS or DUALSHOCK controller which makes the sub-controller replaceable by any of the former ones during the game play.
