Sony Exec Makes Bizarre Claim About Company's Original IPs
PlayStation fans online are perplexed by a recent comment from Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki about the company's lack of original IP.
According to a new patent filed by Sony, the company wants to administer a system across its PlayStation DualSense controller and VR headset for monitoring weight distribution among its players. The idea would consist of one or more circuitry sensors configured into its devices that analyze how the player is sitting to determine their posture. Through feedback, the sensor would then prompt the user to shift their body into a healthier way of sitting, which would especially help players who immerse themselves for long periods in PlayStation's vast library of games.
New Sony Patent Will Analyze Players’ Posture While Gaming
Another patent was filed in April this year that saw Sony wanting to create AI-controlled companions that could change their behavior based on the player’s actions. The patent describes an artificial intelligence model that would monitor player activity and then craft a local AI model based on these actions. This particular change, if it goes ahead, could be an exciting route for players regarding making games even more immersive, especially in certain gaming scenarios.
In another Sony patent, the company wants to include technology that utilizes an AI-powered model that would learn how to play games using information from cloud-based services like PSN. The trained model would offer an Auto-Play Mode in Sony's games, allowing players to skip intensive or repetitive sections of games.
