Sony patents PSP controlled RC car concept
Sony has recently filed a patent that involces a remote controlled car controlled using a PSP. However, this isn’t your run of the mill remote control car.
The patent details a car that is outfitted with a camera and microphone which is then beamed back to the PSP that it’s controlled by.
The car will also be able to recognized various obstacles physically placed by the player and then render them into computer generated images. This feature raises all new possiblities when it comes to handheld racing games. Too bad we probably won’t see this thing, if at all, for a very long time.

PSP to become a Remote Control
We have seen a lot of gadgets being used for crazy ideas such as remote controllers and apparently Sony has something in store for its portable PSP. Sony has filed a patent for a remote-controlled car that would use the PSP as an interface.
It’s equipped with a camera to feed video to the PSP and users would be able to upload the footage to a website if they want. But that’s not all. The patent mentions an augmented reality racing game. The game recognizes real objects as elements in the racing game, so basically, you build your own track from stuff ou have around the house.

BlackBerry to Control Your PlayStation 3?
If you own both a PlayStation 3 and a BlackBerry smartphone, you can always make them work together for your convenience. How is that possible? You need a $40 dongle called Game|Shadow and the appropriate software to use it. Once you get all that the BlackBerry smartphone becomes a remote for your PlayStation 3 and the keyboard support is included. Wouldn’t you rather use a phone or a real remote to control the PlayStation when watching movies? Sure you can always get the job done with the controllers but that’s really no fun at all. Unfortunately the dongle and software will be available sometime in April so we’ll have some time to kill until then!
