Microsoft patent describes AI generating game content from player's facial expressions

Microsoft's patent US 20260183672A1, "Generative Narrative Game Experience With Player Feedback," describes recording a player's facial expressions, mutterings and sounds, feeding them to a generative AI, and having it create new narratives, NPCs, dialogue, quests and items. The document outlines both designer-prompted generation and player-driven adaptation based on engagement metrics.
