"We've seen videos of Sony's Tank War Demo for the PS Eye before, and they
looked intriguing. But after having a hands-on today, I'm really excited over
the simple tech demonstration.
As long as you position the various elements
of the tank in proper relative positions (tank body middle, treads off to the
side and a turret up top), the software smoothly integrates the design to a
badass killing machine.
After shooting the video, I drew a tank of my own
and was incredibly impressed by the easily digitized product. Because while
we've seen this tank game before on plenty of platforms, playing with your own
customizable character on screen is unbelievably fulfilling. Sure, the first
thing many of us think is perverted drawings cropping up in multiplayer matches,
but watch the vid and you'll realize that the unforeseen potential in the
technology could bring interesting gameplay possibilities—even in a small tech
demo like this one"

This is lush, you have to watch the video to fully embrace this game. This is basically a 'next gen' version of the old top down Tank Wars game, enhanced for the PS3. Being able to draw your tank on a piece of paper and have it appear in the game and to have it fully controllable is really really cool. This feature could be implemented in future games rather well if enough time was put into the thought of it, like maybe an RPG or something. The PS Eye has already been used in a PS3 game called The Eye of Judgment, it's a trading card game where you buy the cards in real life (much like you would with Pokemon or whatever floats your boat) and hold the cards up to the Eye and it then creates a 3D render of the card on the screen and creates the battle and stuff Via the PS3 so you can actually see what's happening. What makes it cooler than what it already is, is the fact that you can play it online with other people around the world using your own deck of cards. 3D head tracking is also possible with the PS Eye. You should watch the video if you don't know what I'm talking about.
