According to senior engineer with SCEA’s developer support team John McCutchan, ”In short, Move.Me is a server application that runs on the PS3 system. It allows anyone with a PS3 to experiment with motion controls and is officially sanctioned and supported by Sony Computer Entertainment… Move.Me sends the complete state of the PlayStation Move and navigation controllers to the PC, giving you the exact same data that licensed developers typically have access to.”
McCutchan views a wide range of use with Move.Me, including academia and healthcare, ”We hope it will be used to discover new ways of connecting individuals with information, and maybe even discovering a new healthcare application or two. We know that some of you out there are aspiring software developers yourselves and we’re eager to see what kinds of applications Move.Move inspires. Maybe an aspiring developer like you will create the next big thing with PlayStation Move.”
One of the differences between Kinect and Move, however, is that Kinect is a standalone device that does not require the Xbox 360 to function. It’ll be interesting to see what comes from Move.Me, however.
