We’ve got the full technical details in on the PlayStation Move, and it’s a lengthy read. We’ll skip to the good stuff, though, and highlight the best bits.
Essentially, Move uses a “combination of the PS3 system and PlayStation Eye camera” to detect the precise movement, angle, and absolute position in 3D space of the PlayStation Move motion controller.
The PlayStation Move motion controller (code: CECH-ZCM1) includes a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor, as well as a color-changing sphere that is tracked by PlayStation Eye camera.
The PlayStation Move sub-controller (code: CECH-ZCS1) is one-handed, pairs with the motion controller and comes with an analog stick and directional buttons. It doesn’t appear to feature the motion control functions, though.
Both the Move and the sub-controller use Bluetooth and come with built in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, enabling charging via the mini USB port, as per normal with PlayStation 3 equipment.
Both are billed for a “Fall 2010” release date.
