The PlayStation Camera is a motion sensing camera accessory for PlayStation 4. It is the successor to the PlayStation Eye for the PlayStation 3, which was released in 2007.
PlayStation Camera has two 1280×800 pixel cameras with lenses having an aperture of f/2.0, with a 30 cm focusing distance, and an 85° field of view.[1] With the dual camera setup, the camera can operate at different modes, depending on the target application.[2] The two cameras can be used together for the depth perception of objects in its field of vision,[3] akin to the Xbox's Kinect peripheral.[4] Alternatively, one of the cameras can be used for recording video, and the other for motion tracking.[5]
The camera features a four-channel microphone array,[1] which helps reduce unwanted background noise and may even be used to receive voice commands.[2] It is tentatively set to be 186 mm × 27 mm × 27 mm (7.3 in × 1.1 in × 1.1 in) (width × height × depth), with a weight of 183 grams (6.5 oz).[1] It records video in RAW and YUV (uncompressed) formats and connects to the console via an auxiliary port.[6][1][7]
It was estimated that 15% of PlayStation 4 owners had a PlayStation Camera in March 2014.[8]
