Abstract: To improve the fidelity of a motion sensor, voice-induced components in signals from the motion sensor as well as haptic-induced components in signals from the motion sensor are canceled prior to outputting the final motion signal to an app requiring knowledge of device motion, such as motion of a HMD for a computer game.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods to for encouraging spectator participation by permitting audience participation to provide different types of in-game help or hindrance to eSport players or teams when certain tiers or thresholds of spectator engagement are reached. In one example, a player's fanbase may cheer by pressing a button or providing other input/feedback. When a specific number of spectators or a level of participation is reached, a helpful object, power-up, or other in-game advantage may be given to the player. Conversely, a harmful item, loss of an object, or other in-game hindrance may be given to the player.

Abstract: A method for gaming. The method includes assigning a default game play profile to a user, wherein the default game play profile includes a default game play style that simulates human game play, and wherein the default game play profile is configured to control game play for the user based on the default game play style. The method includes monitoring a plurality of game plays of the user playing a plurality of gaming applications. The method includes generating a user game play profile of the user by adjusting the default game play style based on the plurality of game plays, wherein the user game play profile incudes a user game play style customized to the user. The method includes controlling an instance of a first gaming application based on the user game play style of the user game play profile.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for providing navigation assistance using eye gaze of a user. An example method provides assistive navigation in a video game. The method includes receiving input from a user device during a gameplay session of the video game. The method further includes capturing eye gaze of the user during the gameplay to identify a region of a scene of the video game associated with said eye gaze. Then, activating gaze navigation to move a focus of the scene to the region identified using the captured eye gaze. The gaze navigation is triggered automatically without said input from the user device.

Abstract: A player who is interrupted during play of a computer simulation such as a computer game and must attend to other matters (colloquially referred to herein as being “away from keyboard” or “AFK”) is assisted in three phases. A first type of assistance is rendered when entering AFK, as in, at the start of the interruption. A second type of assistance is rendered during AFK, while the player is away. A third type of assistance is rendered when the player returns from AFK to the computer simulation.

Abstract: To protect a user's privacy by reducing a malicious developer's ability to eavesdrop on unwitting HMD users by converting signals from a motion sensor in the HMD to speech or speaker recognition, a microphone can record ambient sound and voice which is subtracted from the motion sensor data before the sensor data is made available to the game developer. Additionally, ANC (active noise cancellation) techniques can be adapted to cancel noise from a motion sensor's data. In another technique, a band pass filter subtracts frequency in the sensor signals within the voice range. Still a third technique blends statistical noise into the motion sensor signal before passing to game developers to obfuscate the user's speech.

Abstract: Important information with respect to image generation such as computer game video generation can be lost once the full image is composed. To avoid this, a customized capture script is created for a computer game to specify what to capture, for future use, in the middle of rendering a game video frame, such as frame buffer, depth buffer, stencil buffers, etc. The script also specifies when during frame rendering the data is to be recorded. By capturing data mid-frame, object boundaries on the screen and relative distances between objects can be inferred. This information can be used in 2D-to-3D conversion, object coloring for increased contrast, object highlighting, etc.
