Sony have made no hesitation of letting people know that their motion control technology has been around for a long, long time. In fact, it was being worked on around the time of the Playstation 2, when the Eye Toy was new. Check out the video above and you’ll actually see Dr. Richard Marks demonstrate a similar concept to the PS3’s motion controller on the PS2.

The PS2 version clearly isn’t doing 1:1 tracking, but it’s still rather impressive. Check out the E3 demonstration after the jump to compare how far the technology has come.

It’s the hand-writing that gets us.
