[QUOTE="Alex Atkin UK, post: 112794, member: 1290"] Does looking out of the window make you sick? We are talking about simulating the real-life effect that as you move your head around you can look at things from a different angle. As long as the lag is low enough it shouldn't make you sick and from the [URL="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pinball+bam"]videos I have seen[/URL] of it on PC only few brief moments felt a little odd. If the PS4 camera is as low latency as the PS3 Eye then it should be VERY good indeed. The fact its two cameras now rather than one means it will track much better, I would even be willing to strap a bloody PS Move to my head to get this to work (although I think they probably wouldn't support that in a retail product). My biggest gripe with TPA is not being able to make out what is written on the playfield. Head tracking would really help there as you will perceive the details easier if the image moves realistically as your head does. It could also mean if you lean forwards the image zooms in. I really don't get why anyone would complain that there are more important things than this to work on. This is a feature, like stereoscopic 3D, that once implemented should take no additional work per-table as long as the tables are rendered properly in the first place. Plus, like stereoscopic 3D, anyone who doesn't want it can turn it off. [/QUOTE]
