Abstract: A method and system for providing a memory-based motivational mode in virtual reality is disclosed. A plurality of virtual reality datasets is stored, each virtual reality dataset including data regarding a different set of stimuli and corresponding biometric data of a player. Launching a virtual reality session includes presenting a current set of stimuli to the player in a virtual reality environment of an interactive content title. A plurality of virtual reality datasets is stored. Each virtual reality dataset includes data regarding a different set of stimuli and corresponding biometric data of a player. Real-time biometric data is tracked and associated with the current set of stimuli presented to the player. The current set of stimuli of the virtual reality environment is updated based on a set of stimuli from an identified virtual reality dataset that include the biometric data corresponding to an identified change.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for providing individual customizations of a stream for an eSports event of eSports events. The customizations including incorporating customized graphic and audio displays into a viewed stream. Additionally, viewers may be able to access a limited social network for spectators having similar interests or viewing rights. In other aspects, the eSports presentation may be linked to third-party services for enhancing spectator engagement.

Abstract: Systems and methods for visually tagging communications in communication sessions are provided. A current communication session associated with a user device communicating with one or more other user devices may be monitored. The current communication session may include a plurality of messages including a set of the messages associated with the user device. An emotional state may be identified for each of the messages in the set and categorized based on analyzing the set of the messages in view of contextual information regarding the user of the user device. A categorized emotional state of at least one of the messages may be detected as triggering a tagging rule associated with the user of the user device. A presentation of the set of the messages may be modified within the current communication session based on the tagging rule. The modified presentation may include one or more tags indicative of the categorized emotional state of the at least one message.

Abstract: Systems and methods for text tagging and graphical enhancement of subtitles in an audio-visual media display are disclosed. A media asset associated with an audio-visual display that includes one or more speaking characters may be received by a text tagging and graphical enhancement system. A set of sounds from the audio-visual display corresponding to speech by one of the speaking characters is identified. The set of sounds corresponding to the identified speaking character may be analyzed and one or more vocal parameters is identified, each vocal parameter measuring an element of one of the sounds. A display of subtitles synchronized to the speech of the identified speaking character within the audio-visual display may be generated. The appearance of the subtitles may be modified based on the identified vocal parameters for each of the corresponding sounds.

Abstract: A method and system for selecting new interactive content titles for users is disclosed. A plurality of user profiles is stored in memory. Each user profile including one or more preferences and historic gameplay data associated with a user associated with the user profile. A request to select a new interactive content title for the user over a communication network from a client device associated with the user profile is received. At least one of a plurality of available interactive content titles that are not associated with the historic gameplay data is selected. The at least one interactive content titles is selected from a subset of the available interactive content titles that correspond to one or more of the preferences in the stored user profile of the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for emotion detection and emotion-based moderation based on voice inputs are provided. A user emotion profile may be stored in memory for a user. The user emotion profile may include one or more moderation rules that specifies a moderation action responsive to one or more emotional states. A current communication session associated with the user and one or more other users may be monitored based on the user emotion profile. An emotional state detected as being associated with a subset of the messages may trigger at least one of the moderation rules by corresponding to at least one of the emotional states specified by the user emotion profile. A presentation of at least one of the messages in the subset being provided to the user device may be modified in accordance with the moderation action specified by the user emotion profile.
