Sony Motion Controller & Atlas Wands

Sony showed off it's prototype motion controller at E3 the other day. I think it looks fun but it also reminded me of this ping pong ball + LED wand from the Atlas project that I saw a couple years ago. Images below show Sony's controller on the left and a DIY Atlas on the right.

The controllers will probably look different after Sony's product designers get done with it but I for one hope they keep the ping pong ball top. For more details check out how to make an Atlas controller or see more of Sony's press conference. (Atlas photo by Bryan Kennedy)
