Sony announced the Wonderbook at its E3 2012 press conference, confirming rumours along with its first title.
JK Rowling is the only star to be announced so far, as her Book of Spells launches the new product. A faltering tech demo showed how players can cast spells using PlayStation Move, and watch stories come to life through the PlayStation Eye camera. Right now it seems to be highly-focused on younger players, but this could be the kick up the backside PlayStation Move needs. If the tech works, anyway.
Sony’s collaboration with Rowling’s online world, Pottermore, is expected to be the first of many major signings for the Wonderbook.
