Sony Computer Entertainment America has filed patents for software which is able to recognise emotions, including, laughter, sadness, joy, anger and boredom.
Uncovered by [1] Siliconera, the patents are not limited to home consoles, although artwork filed by Sony depicts a PlayStation 3 and Bravia TV.
The patents may be related to Sony’s PlayStation 3 motion-tacking technology, [2] first revealed at E3 this year, which follows player movement and can detect facial expressions as well as spatial recognition.
The technology also sounds similar to Microsoft’s [3] Project Natal, and in particular Lionhead’s demo of Milo and Kate – software that as well as following movement, can detect [4] emotional responses through facial and voice recognition.
