Abstract: A method is provided, including the following operations: analyzing gameplay data and spectator data from previous sessions of a video game, wherein the analyzing is configured to correlate a spectator preference to a gameplay condition of the video game; using the correlated spectator preference to generate an in-game recommendation for the gameplay condition; identifying the gameplay condition occurring in a current session of the video game; responsive to identifying the gameplay condition occurring in the current session, then presenting the in-game recommendations to a player of the current session of the video game.

Abstract: There are provided a head-mounted display, a display control method, and a program for changing the position of the image of an object near the optical axis of a camera in an image displayed on a display section. A camera control section controls the direction of the optical axis of the camera capturing an image of what is ahead of the display section disposed in front of the user's eyes. A display control section causes the display section to display a partial image cut out from the image captured by the camera, the partial image constituting a portion corresponding to the optical axis direction of the camera.

Abstract: A tracking system uses one or more light sources to direct light toward one or more of a user's eyes. A dynamic vision sensor (DVS) operably coupled to a processor is configured to view the user's eyes. The DVS has an array of light-sensitive elements in a known configuration. The DVS outputs signals corresponding to events at corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array in response to changes in light from the light sources reflecting from a portion of the user's eyes. The output signals include information corresponding to locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array. The processor determines an association between each event and a corresponding particular light source and fits an orientation of the user's eyes using the determined association, the relative location of the light sources with respect to the user's eyes and the locations of the corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array.

Abstract: A position and orientation of a controller are determined from a known configuration of two or more light sources with respect to each other and with respect to a controller body and from output signals from a dynamic vision sensor (DVS) generated in response to changes in light output from the light sources. The output signals indicate times events at corresponding light-sensitive elements in an array in the DVS and array locations of the light-sensitive elements. A position and orientation of one or more objects are determined from signals generated by two or more light-sensitive elements resulting from other light reaching the two or more light-sensitive elements.

Abstract: Methods and systems for improving engagement metrics of a spectator include identifying a group of spectators watching game play of a video game and generating an aggregate group profile for the group. Engagement metrics for the group are analyzed to identify engagement level of the group toward the game play of the player. One or more suggestions are provided to adjust game play of the video game so as to improve engagement level of the group toward the game play of the video game.
