The Sony Dumb-bell?
looking at the pics in the OP, sony is patenting a melon scoop controller? actually, not just that, but dual wielding melon scoops that you can stick together and be darth melon scooper?
oh wait, I see the photoshops now. so they're actually patenting a droopy-eyed sad man controller.

:lol why does it bother you so? you can't control what people find funny, dude.
i don't know what's funnier; the photoshops or the, "c'mon you guyz.....stop laughing! it's not funny!" posts. just like the Wii or the name 360 if it's worth its weight then it'll be judged on its merit when it's time. this time right here though? this is the time for laughing at it.

Most people that visit this thread understand that it's just for laughs. Some don't, and some even don't undeerstand that others understand.
But I still love you. And I love the fact that Sony is about to release a barble shaped controller for their weight lifting simulator.

Pictures are quite ridiculous, but the concept itself it's much more "mature" than wii's.
+ The console can identify precisely the position while NOT pointing at the screen. That's a huge difference. Being able to effectively know the position and acceleration of the controller in any situation is what wii has needed since its birth.
+ You are not sticked to one controlling method, or the alternative methods are more like traditional controllers, and less like plastic add-ons that doesn't add a thing. This way you can play the games AS ALWAYS if you want.
+ There's not TWO parts, but a single, configurable one. No useless (when alone) nunchucks.
+ The "sensor bar" (Here the PSEye) provides new functionalities for people who doesn't have it, and people who already owns the thing, can use it for good.
+ Wii is an interesting concept runing on crap hardware. This may be one step ahead in motion sensing games with non crappy graphics
+ The whole thing seems way much more precise than wii prehistorical approach (We need to know if this shit works anyway :lol )
- Much pricier than Wii, that's seems obvious. PSEye itself is pricey.
- Many different shapes and configurations may be a hell for the developers and the consumers.
- The thing is not standard so it won't have the Wii punch, nor the developers focus

I'm just curious about the sound aspect of it.
I know it's ultrasonic, but still, if it's using sound waves to determine distance, isn't there the possibility of interference with... I dunno... a 7.1 surround system blasting while playing? What about noisy roommates?
edit: I bet it's nowhere near the same frequencies (they're probably above 20,000 hz and above human hearing range) but still a concern. What about that high pitched whine that older CRT's make?

the noise would be somewhere that would have that interference i would assume. Like most here have said already those pictures wont be the final product, but man, the technology sounds freaking awesome, and i'd love to see this thing in action. The eye can be had for pretty cheap, but they would need to package everything for an affordable price, which this tech looks like it may not be that cheap.
I just dont think it will catch on pre PS4 (if they are very serious about this), but i guess the ps3 can be the "test bed".

is this a joke? :lol :lol :lol
why not just play football?
its like taking the head tracking thing ('i want to be able to turn my head and the view moves..' cept you're not looking at the screen any more) to a whole new level. he's not even facing the screen
If Sony actually releases this, this just confirms that they have absolutely no idea of what they're doing this generation. I tolerated Blu-Ray, Reeves and other CEOs utterly stupid comments and virtually the loss of every 3rd party exclusive... but if Sony is going to try and turn the PS3 into a waggle paradise more than what the DS2 offers, then I really don't know what to say.
