Motion sensors are so three months ago. Sony has filed a patent for an emotion sensor to be used to detect a gamers feelings during a game such as joy, anger or sadness.
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.
Good news for Indians…
With a wire-free design meant for audio fans who want a simple and headphone only MP3 player to 
use on the go, the new Sony mp3 Player, the ultra portable W series is compact and lightweight (35g) and fits comfortably behind the head, so users can get active without getting tangled. It is available in five colors; black, white, pink, violet and lime and features 2GB of storage.
The design doesn’t allow for a display so Sony’s unique new ‘Zappin’ function is incorporated. By simply clicking the Jog Dial operation on the inside earpiece, the ‘Zappin’ mode helps users find tunes easily.
Reports are suggesting that Sony will start work on an iPhone conquering “cellphone/game gear hybrid” as early as next month.
Reports and rumours of a Sony gaming phone are nothing new. Last month Sony Ericsson president Hideki Komiyama admitted that a PlayStation mobile “could happen.”
Now Japan’s Nikkei business daily is reporting that work on “a new product that combines functions of its portable game player and Sony Ericsson’s mobile phones” will start next month.
If such device does go ahead it’s likely to feature its own app store, like Apple’s after Sony earlier paved the way for non-gaming PSP applications.

Basic features like auto rotate between landscape and portrait mode have been removed. There’s no multi-gesture for moving around the menu system. There’s an image gallery but zooming in and out isn’t very intuitive. Moving between songs is relatively easy (see video / image below). There’s a web-browser from Access, and well, YouTube too.
The build quality is top notch, and it really hits the sweet spot between being sturdy and not too heavy. There’s no mistaking that this is a serious piece of kit when picking it up, and even the buttons are rock solid.
The 3-inch OLED display is spacious enough, yet the overall player is plenty small to sneak into tight spaces without causing too much fuss.
Despite appearing somewhat chintzy in the press shots, the look and feel in person really impresses. The texture adds a sense of security / grip when holding it, and it definitely acts as a differentiator from all the other flat-faced PMPs out there.
One can appreciate the standard 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, but Sony connector at the bottom should have been instead a mini-USB connector! One will be forced to carry around a specialized cable
(à la Apple’s dock-connecting iPod) if you plan on charging it or adding / removing files via a computer. The built-in Noise Canceling switch is a welcome extra, though in our testing, we didn’t notice a difference with it on or off.
