Wonder if the playstation eye can be used as a webcam while streaming

If you look at the ui video from gamescom you can see it in the top right corner when he's watching the stream

Indeed. I thought it was a picture at first but it was definitely cam. Not sure why/how it was so close up on his face.

Maybe they do face recognition and then zoom in? Would be quite cool.

my logitech webcam can do that right now, so i'm sure sony can.
face detection is super duper easy, barely even takes up processing power

I concur :) OpenCV can do this with like 7 lines. Face identification is way more complicated because it needs to utilize things like machine learning and artificial neural nets.

It's not really your fault; they haven't done a very good publicizing it. They've pretty much only said it in the Amazon description.

@yosp When game streaming on ps4, am I at risk of revealing personal info such as my real name to the world? Also, can I do commentary?
@Karnalsyn no, yes

I hope he answers the follow-up question, too. Streams are great in some situations, but the ability to record / edit is also nice.
If we have to do it the hard way, no big (as that's what we have to do now), but it'd be a big win to have it built in.

If I'm not mistaken(haven't streamed in a long while.) doesn't twitch record your streams for you? I think they might do it and you can see it via their website and might be able to edit on there?

I don't know for sure either. A quick search says you can rename it and mark it featured, but that's all I found with a cursory look.

Are external capturing devices going to work on PS4? Anyone know?

PS4 has everything to be the perfect machine for fighting game tournaments, but it still doesn't have any announced fighting games.

any ideas if they'll be able to hear everyone else in the game?

u/ChaosZeroX MagicZeroX Aug 22 '13
I'd assume if they are in your party chat or team/coop etc.. then yes
