Abstract: Methods and systems for engaging an AI player of a user to play a video game on behalf of the user includes creating the AI player for the user using at least some of the attributes of the user, training the AI player using inputs provided by the user during game play of the video game, and providing access to the video game for game play to the AI player. The access allows the AI player to provide inputs to the video game that substantially mimics a play style of the user. Control of the game play of the video game can be transitioned to the user at any time during the game play of the AI player. The user can also control the game play of the AI player from a video recording of the game play.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing device coupled to a device which a user operates with a hand of the user and on the surface of which a plurality of sensors that each output information associated with a spatial positional relation with the surface of the hand of the user are arranged, the information processing device being configured to receive output from each of the sensors included in the device and generate an image in which an image element having been drawn with a pixel value determined on the basis of a value represented by the output from each of the sensors is arranged at a position corresponding to a position at which each of the sensors is arranged, on a mapping space obtained by plane-unfolding a portion that constitutes the surface of the device and on which the sensors are arranged, Further, the information processing device is configured to, upon receipt of input of the generated image, estimate information associated with the position of each of joints of the hand of the user who operat

Abstract: A method is provided, including: executing a session of a video game; executing an artificial intelligence (AI) player that performs gameplay in the session of the video game; streaming video of the AI player's gameplay over a network to one or more spectator devices for viewing by one or more spectators respectively associated to the one or more spectator devices; receiving, over the network from the one or more spectator devices, feedback data indicating reactions of the one or more spectators to the video of the AI player's gameplay; adjusting the gameplay by the AI player based on the feedback data.

Abstract: A user's eyes and if desired head is tracked as the user's gaze follows a moving object on a display. Motion blur of the moving object is keyed to the eye/head tracking. Motion blur of other objects in the frame also may be keyed to the eye/head tracking.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that identifies an area of a user's body when the user performs an action of bringing the area of his or her body in contact with a target to be manipulated, and that performs a predetermined process in accordance with the identified area of the body.

Abstract: A reprojection unit executes reprojection processing for converting an image including depth value information to align with a viewpoint position or a line of sight direction according to a plurality of different depth values, and generates a composite image by compositing a plurality of images subjected to the reprojection processing according to the plurality of different depth values. A distortion processing unit executes distortion processing for transforming the composite image in alignment with distortion arising in a display optical system.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus connected to a controller device equipped with proximity sensors that are provided for at least respective fingers of a user, estimating amounts of bending of the fingers of the user using a first method on the basis of detection results from the proximity sensors, estimating a posture and a shape of a hand of the user using a second method different from the first estimation method, and correcting by using information estimated by the first method, information regarding an amount of movement of each finger in a bending direction in information regarding the posture and the shape of the hand of the user estimated by the second method to generate information relating to the posture and the shape of the hand of the user.

Abstract: A virtual object is arranged in a virtual space, and an image in the virtual space is generated to be presented to a user. In addition, information indicating an operation from the user is received, a virtual manipulator for operating the virtual object is displayed in the virtual space in accordance with the received information indicating the operation, the magnitude of a virtual force applied to the virtual object by the virtual manipulator is determined, and information indicating the determined magnitude of the force is presented to the user.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing system including an application unit that applies a voltage to an application site of a user's body and a detection unit that detects a change in potential at a detection site of the user's body that is different from the application site in a state where the voltage is applied to the application site, and the information processing system determines a contact between a site of the user's body and another object on the basis of the change in potential detected by the detection unit.

Abstract: When a head-mounted display acquires data of a display image generated on the basis of position/posture information of a head of a user at time and given a distortion corresponding to the distortion of an eyepiece lens, the head-mounted display corrects the image on the basis of position/posture information of the head at time t for display. Then, the head-mounted display corrects chromatic aberrations on the basis of actual distortion coefficients of the lens, and outputs the image to a display panel.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is connected to a first information acquisition apparatus that acquires first information relating to at least one of a position or a pose of a hand of a target person and a second information acquisition apparatus that acquires second information relating to at least one of the position or the pose of the hand of the target person and different from the first information acquired by the first information acquisition apparatus. The information processing apparatus accepts the first information and the second information from the first and second information acquisition apparatuses, respectively, retains the accepted first and second information in an associated relationship with information of timings at which the first and second information acquisition apparatuses acquire the first and second information, respectively, and extracts pieces of the first and second information acquired at a common timing from the retained first and second information as pair information.
