Sony Released Patents for Biometric's for the PS3 and PSVita, sounds exciting.

The PlayStation Biometric Controller And Handheld Computer Patent States:
   
  • Weapons that change depending on how stressed you are. An increase in stress level could make a weapon more accurate or less steady, which will make it difficult to target an enemy. Sony specifically mentions a sniper situation where the weapon becomes more steady if you're relaxed.
  • Tensing up your muscles to withstand an attack or charge up a shield.
  • A video game character whose facial expressions, movements, posture, and even voice changes depending on your biometric data. For example, this character will sweat when a player is nervous.
  • An adrenaline style boost which will let you run faster, jump higher, and punch harder when stressed.
  • A health bar that depletes more rapidly if you have a high stress level.
  • An attack button that changes a character's move depending if the player is stressed or relaxed.
  • Background music and scenery that changes depending on your stress level. Matching music is one example, but Sony also proposes to change music to make a player more relaxed. Brightness of objects and the zoom level, representing a higher level of focus, are two ideas for scenery.
  • A game that adapts difficulty levels depending on a players stress level.

Is This The Future Of Gaming ???



Around the Network

I hope not... such an horrible future!!!



Switch!!!

interesting



This biometrics thing is an interesting idea but if Sony do implement this Im 100% sure someone is gona find a way to say Nintendo did this first.



The Wii is using WiiMotes and body movement for playing, Microsoft Kinect is using the whole body to play, what is sweaty palms going to do for gaming....we shall see I guess, I would like to try this out though.

Probably is the future but another thing worries me about this new tech.

It can be used to lock games to the gamer so no one else can play the game and you cant borrow it out to a friend or a family member.

instead of regionlock we could have to live with biometriclock instead and that is not a future I would want for the gameindustry.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

That is so true...that would be a move to cut down on piracy, but also have your fingerprints on file....not a good idea at all.....

There is no doubt that this will happened, it´s just so obvious that they will jump on this thought as soon as it´s possible.

I hope they bring it about as soon as possible, I think it looks awesome!



Uh, preferably not, I'm not fond of the idea of a controller measuring my palm sweatiness :P
