Sony Computer Entertainment America has filed patents for software that can recognize emotions, including, laughter, sadness, joy, anger and boredom.
The patents may be related to Sony’s PlayStation 3 motion-tacking technology, which can detect facial expressions, and sound similar to Microsoft’s Project Natal, which can detect emotional responses through facial and voice recognition.
