Sony looks to be adding an in-depth voice assistant to PlayStation consoles in the future
In the patent, it shows that players will be able to ask a variety of in-game inquiries. For example, in Horizon Zero Dawn if the player asks where the nearest health source is the assistant will show it via the game’s map. There are also pictures showing requests in Skyrim including how to fight the dragon Mimulnir, where to find a steel sword, and directions to Bleak Falls Barrow. The new PlayStation assistant will seemingly function off mobile devices where you can submit your commands by either typing or speaking.
When and if it is ever implemented this could potentially be a great accessibility option for PlayStation consumers. The PlayStation 4 already has voice recognition, but nothing as advanced and detailed as what Sony is apparently pursuing.
