PlayStation Vita facial recognition tech demoed

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan demonstrated PlayStation Vita‘s facial recognition technology at the Game Tools & Middleware Forum 2011 in Tokyo this week. A webcam-style application saw two users chatting through virtual avatars that followed their every facial action, including head turning and lip moving.

The company also showed off an augmented reality demo, which brought a dinosaur to life on the PlayStation Vita screen.
