For all of last year, we saw AI integration around us at a rapid pace. It entered our devices, software, and games too. Speaking of games, Sony is now planning to change your gaming experience by including a new and innovative AI system that predicts players’ button presses before they even happen. Sounds fascinating, right? The same was revealed in a recent patent filing by the company. This addition aims to eliminate the delay between pressing a button and seeing the action on screen.

Once implemented this will give gamers a level of responsiveness that we have not seen before. For this, the AI system will use cameras to analyse the players’ movements during gameplay. It will then use this data to learn patterns and behaviors and to anticipate their next move.
In theory, this is pretty similar to predicting the opponent’s move in a chess match. Once the AI guesses which button the player is going to press, it will significantly reduce reaction time and give players a crucial advantage. This would also translate to more immersive and fluid experiences during the game.
In addition to this, there’s going to be another really important feature that this system will bring with itself. It can reduce the issues caused by internet disruptions. If a player’s command is interrupted, the AI steps in to execute the action, acting as a virtual assistant to ensure uninterrupted gameplay.
The technology is still in the development phase as the patent has just been filed, so we can expect it to take some time before it is finally rolled out. Let’s see when it is eventually rolled out as Sony is yet to comment on the same.
