Sony has filed a patent that, as probably as not, won’t ever see the sunshine of day. Recognized by the splendidly evocative identify, Sony Patent WO2025010132 “TIMED INPUT/ACTION RELEASE”, the speculative tech goals to streamline the “timed launch of consumer instructions” by utilizing AI to find out your subsequent button press.
Noticed by Tech4Gamers (thanks, IGN), this might work in a number of methods. A digicam pointed on the participant’s fingers would use machine studying to foretell the participant’s actions and, theoretically, minimize down on enter time. Sony rationalized this tech thusly: “There could be latency between the consumer’s enter motion and the system’s subsequent processing and execution of the command. This, in flip, ends in delayed execution of the command and unintended penalties within the recreation itself.” No extra blaming your losses on enter lag, eh?
One other potential sensor, as an alternative of the impractical finger-camera, may very well be contained in the controller button itself. PlayStation is clearly on board with utilizing AI to enhance its merchandise, with its first official upscaler, PSSR, transport with PS5 Professional consoles. Who is aware of, maybe the DualSense might get an AI improve for the PS6?
