According to Amazon’s product details for the PlayStation 4’s Camera, the peripheral will support Kinect-like voice commands to navigate the console’s menu system. The product details on the US Amazon site reads: “From navigational voice commands to facial recognition, the PlayStation Camera adds incredible innovation to your gaming.”
Voice controls for the console were first rumoured last year after a job listing revealed a job involving “voice recognition system and technologies for the PlayStation platforms.”
It’s odd that Sony hasn’t mentioned this feature in any of it’s press conferences, but it’s a useful feature in any case.
