Sony patents 'Eyepad,' a Move-enabled PS3 tablet controller by Jordan Mallory on Feb 16th 2013 1:30PM [size=1em]0 It's important to remember, especially in situations like this, that the existence of a patent does not necessarily correlate to the existence of a product, or even a company's desire to build what it has patented. So, with that in mind, let's take a look at Sony's ridiculously named PlayStation 3 tablet controller patent. 首先要注意的是，专利的存在并不表示它一定会变为产品。在这个前提下，让我们一起来看看sony神奇的“PS3平板控制器”专利。 The device Sony refers to as an "EyePad" in its patent application, seen in the sketch above, would theoretically come equipped with the usual trappings you'd expect from a PS3 controller: D-Pad, buttons, analog stick, SIXAXIS motion sensors, etc. The more interesting bits, however, are a bit harder to pick out from the drawing. 这个sony称为“Eyepad”的设备理论上依然保有传统手柄的D-pad，按键、模拟摇杆6轴动作感应等。然后最有意思的部分从上图却很难看出来。 First of all, those shaded stripes on the edge are not a creamy nougat center, as we had originally surmised, but rather illuminated strips of LEDs or comparable light source. This would allow the EyePad, in conjunction with an EyeToy camera, to function as a PlayStation Move controller. （这里翻译大意）边缘部分应该是LED或类似光源，用以配合eyetoy摄像头实现move类似的功能。 Secondly, those dots on either corner of the apparent display (which could actually be a normal display, touchscreen or Vita-esque touchpad, according to the filing) are paired stereoscopic cameras. The cameras are arranged in such as way that their respective fields of vision provide a full, 360-degree view of any object placed onto the surface of the EyePad's screen, allowing for objects to be fully scanned in three dimensions and then rendered in game. Theoretically the player could also place their face within this field, allowing for face mapping in character customization applications, for instance. 另外屏幕边缘的几个黑点则是立体成像摄像头。按照这种排列方式，它可以将放置在平板上的物体完整的映射为3维模型。理论上玩家还可以把脸贴上去，实现角色自定义。 Again, we doubt this patent represents anything more than a combination of day-dreaming and butt-covering on the parts of Sony's engineers and legal department, respectively, but the ideas presented here are definitely interesting. 最后再次强调这个东西不一定会推出产品。。。
