bingo, microsoft's had seadragon in research for years. works with silverlight and javascript controls. very impressive stuff. it will most likely go into windows mobile, zune and future versions of the windows os.

Well I was wondering how long it would take for them to add voice recognition...to the main OS...its already in quite a few games one of which is SingStar.....now I just want it to work off my Bluetooth headset and not be limited to use only with the PSEye...
True, but I rather use the Pseye than the microphone. Voice recognition just like Xbox's Natal, will come real soon. Here's hoping this comes out in time for the Ps wand launch.
Oh, and bluetooth, microphone and pseye more than enough, but more options might be welcome, just don't know how they will pull that off.
Voice recognition is pretty common in some games, the PSP translator software already does voice recognition. The biggest issue always is accuracy.
Personally, I was surprised that Singstar could properly understand that Japanese gentleman's thick accent on names and words like "Cyndi Lauper"; which was pronounced more like "Shin-di Lo-pa".

This seems to be the same thing as Microsoft Labs' Seadragon and Deep Zoom. Regardless, pretty nifty. http://livelabs.com/seadragon/
PS3VR is actually very interesting Engadget. If you swap out your HDD and try to use the PS3 as a modern day digital jukebox you quickly come to the realisation that the current inability to search content against file names and meta-data in either Music or Video is actually a massive oversight in basic functionality.
One seemingly endless (if alphabetic) list not only becomes irksome, but it slows the Playstation down something chronic as it races to cache every bloody album cover or video loop that you whizz past in a bid to get anywhere.
The thought of being able to 'Play music by Coldplay between 2000 and 2002' or 'List action movies featuring Megan Fox' is actually really cool, if above and beyond what I could really use *right now*. Haha!

I like how they misspelled MIC in the translation with "mike"
I like how they used professional translators to translate "mike".

This is what one would call a Zoomable User Interface (ZUI)

HOLY F@#$%ING SH@#.
THIS IS AWESOME!
I'd love to see this actually deployed. It'd turn the utterly dreadful web-browsers on the PS3 and PSP into something not merely "adequate", but "really excellent". The tech would need to be able to convert existing HTML links into the scalable sub-images on-the-fly, however, otherwise all content would need to be custom-written for the engine.

It is old technology that is poorly demoed IMO
There isn't any indications where the links are it is just a huge treasure hunt. (They could have just made a game with it)
PS3 and PSP is crappy for browsing the web.
Lets just see how they implement it.
It would be nice if it becomes part of Web 4.0 standard or it would be meaning less since browsers can't make use of it, i doubt webmasters would change their websites just for PS3.
WOW this is just Like gpuViewer looks the same as what is shown on the PS3 take a look http://www.gpuviewer.com/
heres are videos of it running

Zoom + Porn = WIN!!!
imagine if they had this for websites u wouldnt have to click links just zoom in
it's a Mandelbrot Fractal Zoom!!!
Have you no desire to ever use your brain ? The PS3 and PSP's web browsers don't work like that. Which is precisely why this software is interesting; unfortunately, you're apparently the only person who is unable to see this.
I'll be clear so even you can get it: This 'new' technology isn't that new, and it's not that impressive.
And no I don't use consoles, never will most likely, and if I did it wouldn't be a PS3.
And no your bounce didn't work, even if it did it would not scale, not even with magical sony zoom.

That's rather like Deep Zoom.
