摘要： Methods and apparatus provide for: recording a first sequence of video images output by a videogame, recording a sequence of depth buffer values for a depth buffer used by the videogame, recording a sequence of in-game virtual camera positions used to generate the video images, recording one or more in-game events and their respective in-game positions, generating a second sequence of video images encoding the depth buffer value sequence, and associating the in-game virtual camera position sequence, with at least one of the first and second sequence of video images. Methods and apparatus also provide for: obtaining a first video recording of a videogame playing session comprising a sequence of video images, obtaining a second video recording generated by encoding a depth buffer value sequence, obtaining data indicative of an in-game virtual camera position sequence that is associated with at least one of the obtained video recordings, obtaining data indicative of a statistically significant in-game event and an in-game event position, calculating a position within a current video image of the first video recording corresponding to the in-game event position, in dependence upon the associated in-game virtual camera position and decoded depth buffer values, and augmenting the current video image with a graphical representation of the statistically significant in-game event, responsive to the calculated position.

摘要： A method of generating a representation of a virtual environment includes obtaining a mesh of at least part of the virtual environment; detecting the continuous and non-overlapping portions of that mesh, hereafter ‘patches’; populating a texture map with representations of the patches by, for successive patches in order of large to small, identifying a position on the texture map where a current patch meets a non-overwrite criterion, wherein the a non-overwrite criterion requires that texels corresponding to the current patch do not overwrite texels of any previously positioned patch, and successive positions for each current patch are tested at intervals starting from a common origin position; and associating the current patch with the identified position; setting colour values for the texels of the texture map responsive to colour information corresponding to the obtained mesh; and outputting the obtained mesh and texture map for use by a third party.

摘要： A method of automatically providing a hint to a first user about how a second user is likely to interact with them within a videogame includes: obtaining first indicators of behaviour for the second user recorded during at least a first previous interaction with the first user or an approximate representation of the first user, obtaining second indicators of behaviour for a corpus of a plurality of players having had at least a first successful previous interaction with the first user or an approximate representation of the first user, comparing the first and second indicators of behaviour to obtain comparison information about how the second user compares to the corpus of successful players, and providing a hint to the first user about the second user, based upon the comparison information.

摘要： A method of recording a seamless customised video recording of a video game, the method comprising the steps of: video recording a first run-through of at least a part of the video game; saving a saved-game state of a first game state of the video game, the saved-game state enabling a game state of the video game to be reset to the saved-game state that is at least visually identical to the first game state; detecting, in response to the saving of the saved-game state, a time within the video recording of the first run-through corresponding to the time the saved-game state is saved; video recording, when the game state is reset to the saved-game state, another run-through from the saved-game state; and editing the video recording of the first run-through by replacing some or all the video recording of the first run-through recorded from the detected time with the video recording of the other run-through when the other run-through meets a predetermined preference criterion.

摘要： A method of detecting significant footage for recording from a videogame includes obtaining position information for a target object within a virtual environment of the videogame, obtaining depth buffer information for a current position of a virtual camera used to generate a current image of the virtual environment for display by the videogame, calculating a first distance along a line between the current position of the virtual camera and the obtained position of the target object, detecting whether a depth buffer value along the line corresponds to at least a threshold distance from the virtual camera, the threshold distance being based upon the calculated first distance, and if so, associating the current image with an indicator that the image is significant for the purposes of recording footage from the videogame.

摘要： A user analysis method of assisting a current user within the videogame, includes: obtaining an indication that a hint is required for a scenario within the videogame; and if so, providing a hint to the current user relating to successful behaviour in the scenario; where providing a hint comprises: obtaining one or more indicators of behaviour for the scenario within the videogame, a difference detecting step comprising detecting a respective difference between the one or more obtained indicators of behaviour and corresponding data derived from a corpus of measured indicators of behaviour previously generated from a subset of other users detected to have a predetermined level of success in the scenario, and the providing step comprising providing a hint to the current user indicating a change in one or more behaviours that reduces a respective difference in the one or more measured indicators of behaviour between the current user and the subset of other users detected to have a predetermined level of success in the scenario.
