The Playroom, which was seen during Sony's E3 2013 press conference, is an augmented-reality game that combines the DualShock 4 controller with the PlayStation 4 Camera to interact with a fleet of on-screen robots. The application is also compatible with smartphones, tablets and the PS Vita.

The demo is made up of micro and augmented reality games that include a colorful variant of Air Hockey and a mean exercise in swatting curious, flying robots.
