No i just expressed common sense, You have simply expressed your one track fanboyish mind. Want to go and view my Kinect posts i say exactly the same about that too nobody minds that do they? noooooooo it's always the same people for the same brand trying to defend their electronic devices like they mattered that much. Now to explain since its obvious people are going to be retarded and drag me into their pathetic little fanboy wars for one comment.

Playstation Eye tracks the orb on top of the Move controller, The controller colours that orb so it can see/track that orb against the background, You can change the orb to the colour of your choice but you may find some that don't work very well... The game changes the orb to blue and you're wearing a blue shirt of the right tone... What happens when the camara cannot see the blue orb against that blue shirt?

Kinect has that issue too clothing against the background, I'm also fairly sure if you had some laughs with an infra-red transmitter you could really mess with move.

What a load of bull! We all know that wouldn't happen.
I can't believe you're actually being serious, jeez.

[ThreeDog]

Read above... Of all i have read about the technology that is a concern.
I cannot believe you even expect me to take you seriously.

Some people will automatically defend anything without even looking at things sensibly, They'll just fling the crap across the room whenever they feel violated by something reasonable that appears to go against their technological idealism and associated branding

The PlayStation Move motion controller features an orb at the head which can glow in any of a full range of colors using RGB light-emitting diodes (LEDs).[10] Based on the colors in the user environment captured by the PlayStation Eye webcam, the system dynamically selects an orb color that can be distinguished from the rest of the scene. The colored light serves as an active marker, the position of which can be tracked along the image plane by the PlayStation Eye. The uniform spherical shape and known size of the light also allows the system to simply determine the controller's distance from the PlayStation Eye through the light's image size, thus enabling the controller's position to be tracked in three dimensions

So again verify what i said.. Blue light vs Blue Background/Blue Shirt. You pick the colour that works or the Playstation 3 does it for you... If the blue for orcs (should be green/yellow tbh) should appear and it conflicts with you or your background WHAT HAPPENS?

I am glad we got this straightened out.

I imagine that since the orb already changes colour dynamically, that it would show a different shade of blue to your shirt, or even to a different colour, assuming they aren't all being used by the game.

did you guys miss out on e3 or something?

But if you select the colour of the orb yourself... which is an announced feature..
I doubt developers will be that clever really.

ThreeDog:

You cant see the difference between the blue shirt and the blue orb? You're both blind and stupid?

[iLLNESS]

first mod i'd do on the move controller is disable the orb.. its such an eye sore i cant believe sony thought it would be a good idea.

i guess then though, the controller would no longer work.

[sengoku]

WOW it's a giant color changing ball, who knew??

but uhmm wont it work just fine in the dark?
game's are best played with nice ambient lighting anyway

still not getting one thou, just saying

Common sense would also tell you that one is lit up while the other isn't.

Like you said, common sense.

Let us also forget that with all the different colored shirts worn by various people, we haven't come across this problem yet. But you know what, let us act like this is a problem when it has yet to even become one.

Common sense, am I right?
