According to a new patent, Sony is working on a new "robotic companion" that looks at you while you play and reacts to your emotions. It's about a companion robot developed to help lone players and encourage them to play more games. According to the patent, research shows that when a player has spectators, his ability to play increases, and this is what Sony is looking for.
"The inventor focused on the possibility of using the robot as a joint display player that experiences sympathy for the user. For example, both the user's affinity with the robot and his motivation to play video games are expected to increase by having him as a spectator. The robot You will be happy or sad depending on the emotions you read in the user. "
To do this, Sony created a unit of "deduction of feelings" We will have to wait to see how it will work exactly, although the name is quite self-explanatory.
It should be noted that companies register lots of patents all the time, and not half of them see the light of day. We'll see how it goes for this one.
What do you think of this idea from Sony? Would you like to have your own company robot to see you while you play?
