Anything more than one scan, orientating an object in a particular, precise way for the camera etc. and you're in "not very user-friendly ville", unfortunately.
But I think it would be worth it for the 2D stuff alone. It would make it a lot easier for some people to embue their designs with their own style and visions.

this would be great for a create your own platform engine. people could make games starting anything in their room. want master chief, mario, and ratchet in the same game? just find some pictures of all of them and there you go.
This is amazing...
Somebody a while back on said on a blog that Youtube "Democrotised" Live Action production, well give 5 people with a few made drawings, and they will "democrotise" animation just as easy with this "software"
Its the 3D thing that needs work, but i susepect that it's closer than we think.

Yeah you are right but they could simplify and make a lot of guesstimates that would satisfy the public for basic 3D object recognition. Especially a single object against white paper. Great strides have been made in this area.
Or they could at least give you options like "extrude" to extrude your 2D drawings into 3D, or even revolve/lathe so you could create glasses, baseball bats etc. That would be easy enough.
Fun to see what they are doing, hopefully some good PSN products will come out of this.
I say stick to the 2d for now. Attempts to extrapolate 3d would just be a bear for a relatively little return at this point.
But building a simple 2D game 'SDK' that's based solely around drawing things seems quite possible here. You would shift the Eye between different modes so you could draw different types of things and have them recognized as building blocks for 2d models, behaviors, actions, joins, etc. Build a character in character mode for example by drawing body, head, legs, arms and so forth as separate pieces, then pin them together in 'join' mode to create a ragdoll character, then give it simple animation in 'behavior' mode by drawing lines to indicate path of travel...etc, etc, etc.

If they include some "soft dynamics" I would love to draw myself a Loco Roco level! How awesome would that be.

This is pretty damn impressive, but, how long till those tanks are replaced with penises online? 
i don't get why it's not getting more recognition, this one of the more amaizng things I've seen this generation. I've been reading the comments I believe they said they are working hard right now on hand tracking. I really want a game that could track movements perfectly, than the eye could be what sony has been claiming for it.
edit- He talked about how if you drew a floorplan of a house it would be 3d, that sounds so unbelievable. I wonder how they could implement this more into games, or even HOME, maybe convert some of my belongings to on screen stuff for home. If the eye/ps3 combo is that good at recognizing stuff like bananas and tanks and drawings imagine face mapping.

The 2d scans are orienting the object in a particular way (flat on the surface), 3d would technically only require repeating the same process 3x per object, no more precise requirement about it (though camera should be pointed a bit tilted, not straight down).gofreak said:
For something like LBP or Home, that'd be plenty easy enough I think.

Pretty damn cool stuff.
Sony should really put even more resources into this, get it into more households, et cetera. It has such superb potential.
