Sony's offices at Soho House are once again coming up with imaginative and unusual functionality for the EyeToy camera peripheral. SpyToy is the piece of software in question, and it will be released this September all being well. The new release will allow 'gamers' and other nefarious oddballs at the fringe of society to setup their EyeToy to spy on a designated area. The software can be set to trigger alarms, record and monitor those entering and leaving a room. Videos taken can be edited as part of the software, snapshots taken and saved to memory card. Lockable profiles and even facial recognition technology will be included, and all in all it sounds like a package the youngsters and those of a low mental age should enjoy enormously... (Jason, yours is pre-ordered).

As well as acting as a real-world spying 'tool', SpyToy will come with a few games of the more traditional, spy-inspired variety, including games using photo fit, satellite tracking, bomb disarming, sky diving and many other pursuits that any would-be 007 might enjoy. All in all, this sounds like just the kind of thing kiddies might like to 'alarm' their bedroom with, alternatively, it could also be used by adults in the bedroom for {HTML "error"}.
