Eyepet
It won't make a mess on the floor or claw at the curtains.
EyePet is the ultimate pet for modern living.
Forget the hamsters and guinea pigs and get the perfect first pet for kids and adults alike.
Developed by SCEE, EyePet is the responsive virtual pet who reacts to your every move and brings entertainment and fun for the whole family; plus it's pretty cute as well.
A loveable, simian-like pet, EyePet lives in an on-screen picture of your sitting room as captured second by second on Playstation Eye, the next-generation camera for PS3.
Working in Augmented Reality, EyePet is fully aware of people in the room and will interact with you and your environment.
EyePet will be available in late 2009, so prepare to bring a furry ball of mischief into your home and a new friend into your life.
