New Sony Patent Applications Include AI-Based, Anti-Lag Tech

Newly revealed Sony patent applications show AI tech that would predict player inputs to reduce online lag and an accessory that would allow players to aim the PS5's DualSense controller like a gun.The AI patent application (spotted by tech4gamers) would use "a machine learning-based model or other system" to predict and execute player inputs before they are actually completed, thereby offsetting some online lag. The system would use a camera and interpret player movements to make predictions. Another similar system could use incomplete inputs to predict what a player's next move would be.Image from the Sony patent which shows a player playing a football-themed game in front of a TV with an attached camera.The DualSense patent was filed in June, but made public in earlier in January (as spotted by GameRant). Players would hold the right "arm" of the DualSense, aiming it like a gun and using the space between the right bummer and trigger as a sight. The patent suggests that this accessory could be paired with others, like the PSVR2 headset.Continue Reading at GameSpot
