Wii might get 3D camera

by Lynn Little

Because of the success and game play of the Nintendo Wii, 3DV, an Israel-based company, may have found a market for their 3D camera, the ZCam. The Zcam is a 3D camera for the personal computer that is so sensitive that even a flick of a finger can be a command. The camera can also sense depth, which gives a lot of game play potential for the Wii. Imagine running to escape some dire situation or having to creep across a high mountaintop.

The ZCam can actually put the players in the game. Early reports state the ZCam will be ready for mass production in 2008. No games have been announced that will use the ZCam. The sucess of the ZCam will largely depend upon game titles that support the device.

    I’m intrigued by it as well. Even though I have an Eyetoy that I seldom use, the 3D aspect of this camera sounds like there could be a lot of cool gaming potential.
