PS4 Update: Sony Trademarks Next Gen Camera ‘Panopticon’

What could it be?

Posted By | On 05th, Feb. 2013

Sony has apparently registered a new camera called Panopticon, which could be released for the PS4, according to a new report by Nowgamer.panopticon

The listing was found on January 23, 2013 on website oami.eu and the device is supposed to be a new piece of computer/video game software.

Could it be a new PS Move controller with a 360 degree camera?

“The word Panopticon refers to a type of building which allows a central viewer to see everything surrounding it – for example, a circular prison with a guard tower in the middle, which would fit with rumblings on a fully panoramic camera,” Nowgamer reports.

Sony will reveal its next gen console on February 20, so maybe they will show this then. But for now, it’s a rumour, so take it with a pinch of salt.
