Disclosed are apparatuses, systems, and techniques for automatically generating commentary to videos that capture sporting activities, computer games, artistic events, political rallies, security-sensitive scenes, and / or any other actions. The techniques include processing a video segment that includes a plurality of video frames, to obtain a description of one or more objects pictured in the video segment and generating, using the obtained description, a prompt for a language model (LM). The techniques further include causing the LM to process the prompt to generate a commentary about an action performed by the one or more objects over a time interval associated with the plurality of video frames.

A technique for generating, from a video from a computer game, a three-dimensional (3D) representation of space in which Gaussians represent objects in the video. Metadata from the game can be used in creating the 3D representation. User-input content such as a hand-drawn game path is inserted into the 3D representation of space and aligned and scaled. The opacity of the Gaussians in the 3D representation of space is then set to zero such that Gaussians representing objects in the video are transparent and only one or more portions of the user-input content are not transparent. The 3D representation of space is then combined with the video so that the user-input content is presented with the video and animated according to the metadata.

When a gamer's sensed heart rate or other biometric indicator indicates that the gamer is excited or otherwise that an interesting part of a computer game is commanding the gamer's attention, a clip of the game is automatically recorded. A heat map of heart rate may be presented to the gamer showing the gamer his reactions as he moves around the game space. Also, a specific heart rate capture mechanism on a game controller is presented.

Detecting Onset of Motion Sickness in Virtual Reality (VR) Signals from a motion sensor on a head-mounted device (HMD) used by a player of a computer game are analyzed to determine whether motion of the player such as sway may resemble a precursor motion pattern to motion sickness, so that the player may be advised accordingly before the symptoms of motion sickness manifest themselves.

Techniques are described for wirelessly receiving, at first and second speaker assemblies, signals representing left and right audio channels from each of first and second sources, and using the signals, simultaneously playing, on both speaker assemblies, music, computer game audio, computer chat audio, and speech picked up by speaker microphones. User-adjusted and non-user-adjusted EQ may be implemented on various portions of the signal processing.

A machine learning (ML) model is used to automatically generate haptics signals to actuate a haptics generator in a computer game controller. The haptics signal is generated based on audio from the game input to the ML model. Current controller operation and other parameters also may be input to the M model to modify the haptics signal. Category importance and frequency may be applied to the loss function of the ML model to further refine haptics generation. Post-filtering may be used to reduce false positives. Game genre may be used to reduce the number of candidate haptics signals for generation.

The 3D representation of space is then combined with the video so that the user-input content is presented with the video. When the user-input content is a mesh, the texture and / or topology of the mesh can be altered according to the metadata. When the volumetric representations are Gaussians or NeRFs, the user-input content can be converted to match the type of representation.

A technique for generating and inserting voice narration about action in audio-video (AV) content such as a movie or computer game includes generating the narration, e.g., from dialog in the AV content, and determining how and when to insert portions of the narration into the AV content so as not to interfere with dialog in the content.

To enhance a player's desire to challenge various tasks in a computer game.SOLUTION: A game server controls the progress of two kinds of quests of an S quest belonging to an S group and an N quest belonging to an N group. When the N quest is played, the magic power value is given, and the play of the S quest is permitted by consuming the magic power value. In addition, a physical strength value may be given when the S quest is played, and the play of the N quest may be permitted by consuming the physical strength value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Techniques are described for smooth switchover of computer game control. The current states of game input is communicated to a new player assuming control. The new player is allowed time to catch up to the game. New player control is detected, and any errors are communicated to the new player. If there are differences between the old control scheme and that of the new player, they are reconciled. The outgoing player is adjusted to the transition.

A wireless computer game controller has an arcade-style lever for controlling action in a computer game as well as action buttons reflecting contemporary game controllers and control buttons for controlling device operation. Digital signals are generated from manipulation of the lever.

The techniques described herein include using a system for enabling assisted gameplay in a computer game using real-time detection of predefined scene features and mapping of the detected features to recommended actions. For example, the system may generate a scanning query (e.g., a segment cast) toward a target area within a virtual scene, determine a geometric feature based on the scanning query, determine a scene feature based on the geometric feature, determine an action associated with the scene feature, and control an avatar based on the action. Examples of scene features that may have mappings to recommended actions include obstacles within a predicted trajectory of the avatar and transitions in the ground level of the virtual scene.

Techniques are described for overtraining (e.g., 1002) an ML model over a plurality of game playing videos of individual scenes of a computer game to better configure the model to reconstruct or enhance portions of the computer game at a receiver when the computer game is received over a streamlined network. Individuals of a frame are assumed to be missing of reconstruction (904) of slices (810) such that the frames missing slices do not need to be fully discarded.

To help a computer game player in understanding a computer game, upon pausing the game, visual subtitles may be presented. In addition, or alternatively, Braille representing subtitles may be output as a series of vibrations on a touch pad of the controller. When the person's finger reaches the edge of the touch pad, a new series of Braille subtitles may be presented. Depending on where the player is in reading the subtitles and how fast the player reads them, the game video may be slowed down from normal speed.

This invention relates to the field of computer game technology, and provides a bounding box update method, apparatus, client, and readable storage medium. Applied to a client, the client includes multiple nodes organized in a tree structure, each node corresponding to a model, and each model having a bounding box representing the model's position information. The method includes: receiving an update command for updating the bounding box of a target node among the multiple nodes; based on the update command, obtaining parent nodes that have an update association with the target node; and adding the target node and its parent nodes to a pre-created queue for updating, so that the client updates the bounding boxes of the target node and its parent nodes in the queue when displaying a frame. This invention achieves synchronous updates of the bounding boxes of associated target nodes and their parent nodes, thereby achieving synchronous updates of the corresponding associated models and achieving the desired animation effect.
