The Eye camera peripheral will be sold separately from the console, Polygon.com quoted a Sony Computer Entertainment spokesperson as saying.
"Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm that PlayStation Camera allows for voice recognition and we will look forward to sharing more details in the lead up to the launch of PlayStation 4 on November 29," the spokesperson said.
Polygon also cited a YouTube video indicating the camera's capabilities range "(f)rom navigational voice commands to facial recognition."
It also said the PlayStation Camera promises to add "incredible innovation to your gaming."
During Sony's presentation at the GameStop Expo 2013 in Las vegas, SCEA group manager of retail training and advocacy Sean Coleman said the camera will enhance the PS4 experience.
"The new stereoscopic lenses track your body movements in games or even recognize your face easier system navigation," Coleman said.
PlayStation 4 is to launch on Nov. 15 in North America for $399 and Nov. 29 in Europe for €399, Polygon said.
The PlayStation Eye camera will be sold separately and will retail for $59 in North America and €49 in Europe, it added. — VC, GMA News
