Sony Anton

With Microsoft releasing Xbox Natal, Sony is not lagging behind but working on its new next generation controller Anton. One can hold almost anything in the virtual environment starting from pencil to guns, swords, bow and arrow spray paint. The Sony's webcam tracks the motion of the controller to an accuracy of the millimeters. Microsoft Natal is quite futuristic, but the whole idea of moving around the whole room just to play a game seems ridiculous when I want to just relax. But the cool thing about Anton is one can see himself holding the sword and it looks appealing. Its still in making and won't be available till 2010.
