Discovered by patent-watchers Siliconera, it seems Sony has filed several patents all to do with having the PlayStation 3 be aware of when you’re happy, sad, laughing or bored. One can only speculate what Sony has in mind for such technology. Perhaps a game that throws more explosions at you when you’re bored, or starts making it easier when it detects you’re angry. We wonder what might happen if a game could know when you’re aroused. If it detects sadness, perhaps it would ask you to stop playing Lair.
