Sony used its PlayStation Meeting event tonight to show off the widely leaked DualShock 4 controller, which features a front touch panel, a built-in speaker, and a colored light on the top, which Crash Bandicoot creator Mark Cerny said "provides a simpler, more friendly way to identify players."

The controller also includes a much-rumored "Share" button that is believed to allow for quick publishing of images and video from gameplay to the Internet. Sony additionally mentioned "enhanced rumble capabilities" but didn't go into any detail about what this meant.

Alongside the new controller, Cerny also announced a new stereo camera that can sense the depth of the people and objects in the environment, Kinect-style. It can also track individual controller positions in 3D space.

UPDATE: In a press release following the PlayStation Meeting unveiling, Sony unveiled some more details about the Dualshock 4 and its accompanying "PlayStation 4 Eye" camera, though "specifications are subject to change without notice." Of note:

The controller has "a new highly sensitive six-axis sensor" with a 3-axis gyro and 3-axis accelerometer.

The light bar atop the controller includes three colored LEDs that can be used to provide information (such as low health status) to players.

A mono headset will be bundled with the PS4, but the headphone jack on the DualShock 4 supports stereo sound.

A new "Options" button replaces the Select and Start buttons on previous DualShocks.

The DualShock 4 measures 162mm x 52mm x 98mm, which is almost identical to the 160 mm × 55 mm x 97 mm DualShock 3.

The 210g weight is slightly heavier than the 192g DualShock 3.

The DualShock 4 Touchpad supports up to two simultaneous touch points, and features a "click mechanism."

The controller works on the Bluetooth 2.1+EDR standard.

The rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack has a tentative capacity of 1000mAh.
