Which is why I'm saying there should be an option to turn it off.
LOGICALLY, if it's an augmented reality rendered object, that object is going to be transposed perfectly overtop of the video. Any lights that are out of position are reflections. It's easy as that.
Nice try, but nobody is claiming a showroom floor is the right way to do room lighting. As a matter of fact, in an ideally lit room (soft and dim), the lightbar reflection stands out even more because it's the only reflection that will be visible. Which also explains why people on showroom floors aren't loudly complaining about the light- there are so much glare from the room lighting that it's harder to focus on a single object.
See, a picture like that, without the PS EYE recording, would be a much better example if he wasn't sitting/standing so close to the screen. I guess if you sit that close to the screen it could be an issue for you though, it would probably annoy me too.LOGICALLY, if it's an augmented reality rendered object, that object is going to be transposed perfectly overtop of the video.

Here's Watchdogs with a DS4, with a blue light identical to the one throughout the Playroom video. Care to make excuses for that one?

There's no reflection here. The tv shows where the light is in that game.Ironically, the circular discussion is necessary when people participate in multiple cycles of the argument and still don't know what they're talking about. Let's end this debate once and for all.
The colored lights in all these are reflections.
I'm not trying to downplay it, I just don't think the example photos clearly show what it's typically going to look like when they're that close to the screen
No need to be upset, it's a bad example as the PSEYE is recording. It's easy to mistake the recording and the reflections.
Except that there's no logical basis for your explanation- why would they draw 2 lightbars? It's not augmented reality when the entire scene is CG rendered:

You're reading something I'm not saying. I'm saying that it's a bad example because the PSEYE is running and it's hard to distinguish between recording and reflection. I still find it hard to distinguish between them in that video.
Even if it's not an issue the majority will come across, I think it only makes sense to have the option to turn the light off. More options never hurt anyone.
The post was not about it being noticeable, but rather an attempt to help educate people who are struggling to distinguish between reflection and augmented reality. The characteristics of the reflection in the Watch Dogs video are consistent with the glowing elements in the PlayRoom demo - soft, blue, a few inches wide, floating in mid-air.
Jesus really? Why would you even buy the bundle?
How about direct feed PlayRoom footage to prove there should be no stray blue lights floating around in those segments you had trouble admitting were reflections?
Like I've already said, it's a bad example to use as it's hard to distinguish between the reflections and the camera recording. It makes it harder to see.
What part of my logic process do you not understand? Augmented reality superimposes virtual objects 1:1 over real-life objects. If a light seems to be floating on the screen all alone, it's a reflection and not an augmented reality object. I have posted several examples showing these diffused blue strips of light, and how they look identical in each case. This info should help you not struggle to distinguish between reflection and augmented reality. I don't know what else to say to you. Better just wait until the console launch.
I'm not denying the reflection in those examples, I'm saying they are bad examples because it's hard to distinguish between what's being recorded and what's being reflected. It would make a lot more sense to use examples without the PSEYE and avoid any misunderstandings. You might be able to clearly distinguish between them but why use an example that muddies the issue with PSEYE recording at the same time.
I think you'll find what I said was that we hadn't had any one who's had hands on with the controller make an issue out of it. I still think it's not likely to be an issue for the majority of people but I've even stated they it should be an option to turn it off anyway.
