Sony bringing 15 minutes of fame to your gaming character
If your massive multiplayer gaming character is more popular than you are, Sony’s patent application 12/360,070 may be of great interest to you. It looks like Sony will be making it much easier for you to capture video clips of your game play and posting to your website. The patent application covers:
- Manually or automatically triggering the start of a recording. Automatic triggering can occur by a criteria you specify.
- Capturing the video prior to the start trigger (which is cached for this purpose) and after the end trigger.
- Uploading to a blog, web page, or social networking site
The figures reveal what the application might look like. As seen in one of the figures, this could be a universal video capture application across all of Sony’s games.
