Introduction
The Move.Me server is a software application for the PlayStation®3 that opens an easier path to
developing applications on the PlayStation®Move platform.
The PlayStation®Move is a combination of the PlayStation®3 system, the PlayStation®Eye camera, and
the PlayStation®Move motion controller. The sphere at the end of the motion controller allows the camera
to pinpoint your movement and position within the room.

Move.Me hooks up your PC to the PlayStation®Move platform: with the Move.Me server you can use the
PlayStation®Move motion controller as an input device to supply sensor data to your PC application.
The Move.Me server resides on a PlayStation®3, but Move.Me allows you to use the rich controls and
processing power of the platform without the need for access to the PlayStation®3 SDK, an NDA, or
Game developer license.
Move.Me provides a streamlined development system to support academic, student, and research use,
lending itself particularly to in-house and prototype applications. We are excited about the possibilities
for the PlayStation®Move platform to enrich projects as diverse as:
Human-computer interaction
Motor skills rehabilitation
Research into game and user-interface design
Research into augmented reality
Interactive multimedia
Non-commercial game development
Other non-game applications
Samples and libraries
Move.Me sample programs are available in C# and C from:
http://code.google.com/p/moveme
C# Samples
The C# samples include a PSMoveSharp library that handles the network communication and can be
reused by other C# applications. The C# samples also include an Augmented Reality demo, a diagnostic
application, and a mouse driver allowing you to move the cursor by pointing the PlayStation®Move
motion controller at the screen as a laser pointer.
C Samples
The C samples include a library that handles network communication and can be reused by other C
applications. These samples work both under Windows and Linux.

When no clients are connected, the server captures and processes button presses on the motion controller.
When at least one client is connected all user input is passed through to the connected clients and button
presses are not processed by the server.
Use buttons on the motion controller to perform the operations listed in Table 1:
