- Sony has patented an AI streaming technology for video games that allows AI players to interact with viewer feedback over the network.
- AI streamers will bridge the gap between AI and VTuber technology on Twitch, potentially leading to personalized streaming experiences.
- AI streaming has the potential to revolutionize traditional human-based streaming by tailoring content to diverse audiences.
Sony has filed a patent for technology that powers AI video game streams that react to viewer feedback. This technology may be related to other recently published patents from Sony that aim to leverage AI to engage with users and respond to input data.
AI streaming isn’t something Sony has pioneered before, but it’s not an entirely new concept. A notable example of an AI streamer is Vedal987, also known as his Neuro-Sama, who went viral on Twitch early last year. Viewers are reacting to streamers like Neuro-Sama with a mix of shock and disbelief. Because while many of them are clearly inhuman, they are quite real and believable. This is especially true when these AIs are combined with typical VTuber (virtual YouTuber) trappings such as full CGI avatars. This is because it leaves more room for validity and interpretation.
Sony seems to be developing augmented reality glasses for PS5
Some new evidence suggests that Sony is working on developing AR glasses that will help the PS5 turn physical surfaces into mixed reality playgrounds.
Sony has been awarded a patent describing a framework for AI streaming and continues to push forward with experimental technology. According to the patent, the framework allows AI players to interact with games and stream their gameplay over a network, allowing “one or more spectators” to view the gameplay. AI players may incorporate machine learning to model the in-game behavior of human players. We may also analyze “feedback data” and adjust our operations accordingly. Other important parameters outlined in the patent include:
- Analyze feedback data to determine audience interest level
- Collect training data from audience feedback
- Collect input data from the user’s microphone or camera
- Perform facial analysis based on data received from the camera
Sony’s AI streaming technology could have significant impact
The lines between AI streamers and VTubers on Twitch are already blurring, and the technology outlined in Sony’s patent will bring about a dramatic change in how these streamers function. Specifically, if data collection and interest analysis methods are utilized to their full potential, streamers tailored to countless different demographics could emerge. This technology could have a huge impact on streaming as a whole, as AI streamers could theoretically stream 24/7 and perform countless permutations based on viewer feedback.
Streaming is bigger than ever, but most avid Twitch fans follow certain creators for their personalities, connecting with the person on the other side of the screen. With that in mind, it’s hard to imagine a world where AI streaming replaces traditional human-based streaming. Once again, the explosion of AI has had unintended consequences. Sony‘s AI streaming technology is in full swing.
