PS4’s E3 tech demo compilation “The Playroom” will come bundles with all PS4s

The Playroom — which Sony showed off during E3 — will be bundled with every PS4 console, according to a report from GameSpot.

The Playroom used a mixture of micro and augmented reality games to demonstrate;

  • Light bar – tracked by the PlayStation 4 Camera to create augmentations, like holographic panels around you on screen.
  • Touch pad – easy to use for scrolling and interacting in the various AR environments. Players can touch, move and play with AR characters like Asobi, an interactive flying robot who comes out to play in your living room.
  • Motion sensor – take a look at how a classic Air Hockey game is given a holographic visual treatment, with players stretching, twisting and bending to try to get the upper hand.
  • Improved dual motors – watch how you can interact in different ways with AR Bots via the DualShock 4 controller’s Dual Motors and Speaker.
  • Second-screen experiences — the PS4 uses your mobile phone, tablet or PlayStation Vita to create a 3D plastic toy for the AR Bots to chase after.

The PS4 Eye Camera will be required for some of the games and is sole separately. Both the PS4 Eye Camera and additional DualShock 4s have a tentative price of $99 AUD.

The Playroom will be available when the PS4 launches later this year.
