Sony has filed a patent for a new technology that uses a camera and microphone to detect a player's emotions, including laughter, sadness, anger, joy, and even boredom. This new technology will read metadata derived from a camera and microphone to know your emotional response to what you're seeing, such as potentially laughing at a humorous portion of a game. According to the patent filing, this technology identifies emotions by reading facial expressions, as well as group behavior such as two players high-fiving each other. Boredom, for instance, could be detecting depending on whether someone is "looking away from the presentation, yawning, or talking over the presentation."
Exactly what applications Sony has planned for use with this technology in videogames isn't included in the patent.
