KnackChap Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Laughter… as a “controller”? It sounds funny on paper, but Sony Computer Entertainment America seems serious about the concept considering they filed a patent for a laugh detecting program. The application picks up on metadata, which includes laughter recorded by the microphone and a user’s expression from the camera. Both devices are linked to a “game console”, shown as a PlayStation 3 in the diagram, which identifies the user, notes emotions, and transfers the data over a network. How will Sony identify emotions? The patent mentions identifying body gestures and tracking group interactions “such as when two individuals give each other a ‘High Five.’” Sony also developed smile detecting software for their Cyber Shot W120 camera which could be used too. While the patent focuses on laughter it can identify other emotions such as sadness, excitement, anger, joy, interest, and boredom. For example, boredom may be detected if a user is “looking away from the presentation, yawning, or talking over the presentation.” Here’s an example set of data and a flow chart depicting how the system works. The software isn’t limited to video games. It can also be used for TV shows, films, and other media presentations, but we’ll drop those for now. What do you think of a game that can read your emotions? Perhaps, an RPG that changes its story or the way the characters interact based on how you react. http://www.siliconera.com/2009/08/14/scea-...cking-software/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JACKAL Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 wow ,so first sony shows off motion controllers which look ditto like DILDOS with pink leds, and now squeezing balls ?? , omg i really hope this thing dosent gain momentum , i simply do not like the sound of it. j/k Sony should patent something that allows designers to make games more efficiently for their system, instead of making gimmick motion controllers and pets. Dont they really care about their consumers any more?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
