EA doesn’t really have a reputation for innovation. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Remaking the same sports game year after year will sort of do that to you. That said, EA just filed a patent for a new technology that could not only put you i🦹nside a game but will also bring your hat too.

Courtesy of , the new EA patent desc൩ribes technology 𝐆that would take a photo of a real-life person, analyze it, and then adjust a generic 3D model to match the photo. This would involve stretching the model out to share the same dimensions as the photograph as well as taking the person’s skin and placing it over the model as a texture.

But the patent doesn’t stop there. The photo-analysis tech would be sophisticated enough to recognize items of clothing like hats, shirts, and glasses, and adorn the created custom avatar with actual in-game items that match the photo’s real-worl🅠d clothing. This would be a step above previous iterations of similar technology, which just map a photo onto a generic 3D mesh without adjusting for dimensions or recognizing clothing.

This technology would be invaluable for game designers looking to populate their game with real people quickly, but it’d also be a great sell🐓ing point for an MMO or RPG. We always think of ourselves as being in the game, but actually seeing ourselves in-game would be something else.

EA seems to be keeping this technology for themselves, but the same tech that powers Apex Legends' ping system 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:was recently mꦬade available to th༺e public. This means you can cite the patent and use Apex's ping system in your upcoming first-person-shooter, or whatever game you have in development. There are also four other accessibility patents that were made freely available to help with color blindness or impaired vision.
