Summary
Tech giant Microsoft is investing in machine learning technologies to track and influence a gamer's emotions.
The corporation is looking to increase its footprint in the gaming industry as it is trying to acquire Activision Blizzard, a leading game developer.
Microsoft is known for making substantial investments in research and development of new video games related technologies.
Microsoft is about to file a patent for a system that will monitor a gamer's emotions and feelings in real-time to deliver a more positive playing experience.
The said patent will utilize complex machine-learning algorithms and heuristics to modify the playing experience of gamers by influencing their emotions.
The proposal discusses engine-agnostic and game-agnostic techniques to enhance the player experience using machine learning algorithms for Natural Language Processing based on previous game events.
These game events can be directly caused by the player, like pressing a particular button, a combination of controls, or their in-game choices.
