Is Sony making its own Kinect?

A recent patent filing suggests that Sony is working on Kinect-like tech, possibly for use with future PlayStation software. As PlayStation Lifestyle reports, a patent was filed back in October 2011 for “real-time three-dimensional interactive environment using a depth sensing deviceâ€￾. The device also “includes obtaining depth values indicating distances from one or more physical objects in a physical scene to a depth sensing device.â€￾ Patents don’t always come to fruition, of course, but this could be something to bear in mind when dreaming up those PS4 theories.

Sony already tried something similar and it looked like a freaking fairy wand, then xbox comes out with something better and they are successful because of it. Now all of a sudden Sony wants it too. Can't people just create original ideas?

PS Move failed because Sony didn't hype it at all. It was barely marketed and now you can buy those games on PSN for like $20. I'm pretty sure once they heard about Kinect, they were like, "Yeah okay, our idea sucked."

It's okay though, Sony has never really been known for original ideas, they just tend to do everything a little better. Hopefully the "Sony Kinect" is more aggressive towards the consumers so we can eventually play God of War without a controller. Imagine that shit.
