The wonderful technology behind Eye of Judgement


The Sony-developed key component behind Eye of Judgement is called the flux capacitor Cybercode. This award-winning tech was built upon "the Matrix method," a visual identification technique that "identifies real world objects and estimates their coordinate systems simultaneously." In essence, it turns a barcode-like symbol on a game board into a sweet-looking fire-breathing dragon.

The 2D matrix code relies on a square-shaped barcode and since the matrix codes are printable, it offers a low-cost technology with high-tech appeal. It's not exactly new, since this particular technology has been in research for some time. The original video shown here (after the cut) dates as far back as 1996. It's amazing stuff and we can't wait to play with it in Eye of Judgement. How about you?
