Abstract

A method and apparatus for capturing image and sound during interactivity with a computer program is provided. The apparatus includes an image capture unit that is configured to capture one or more image frames. Also provided is a sound capture unit. The sound capture unit is configured to identify one or more sound sources. The sound capture unit generates data capable of being analyzed to determine a zone of focus at which to process sound to the substantial exclusion of sounds outside of the zone of focus. In this manner, sound that is captured and processed for the zone of focus is used for interactivity with the computer program.

Description

Background technique [0001] In recent years, many changes have been seen in the video game industry. As computing power has increased, video game developers have also created game software that can take advantage of the increase in computing power. To this end, video game developers have developed games that incorporate complex calculations and mathematical operations to produce a very realistic gaming experience. [0002] Some exemplary gaming platforms, such as Sony Playstation or Sony Playstation 2 (PS2), are marketed as gaming consoles. As is well known, game consoles are designed to interface with a monitor (usually a television) and enable user interaction through hand-held controllers. Game consoles are designed with specialized processing hardware, including a central processing unit, a graphics synthesizer for intensive graphics operations, a vector unit for geometric transformations, and other associated hardware, firmware, and software. The game console is further...
