Sony Ericsson is in the middle of a global tour to explain its app store strategy to a handpicked group of tier one developers.

Using clever tech the application uses metadata to detect players laughter and other forms of emotional expression during a game via microphone and camera.
According to the patent it will be used to detect a players “laugh”, “frown”, “yawn”, “applaud” or boo’s and other such outward emotions projected by gamers bodies.
