Dynamic in-game refinement of calibration of user input
A method is provided for refining calibration of a user input for a video game, including: performing an initial calibration process for a user input for the video game, wherein the initial calibration process determines calibration settings for the user input; initiating gameplay of the video game using the calibration settings determined from the initial calibration, such that the calibration settings are applied to interpret instances of the user input occurring during the gameplay; determining a game context in which the instances of the user input occur; analyzing the determined game context, and adjusting the calibration settings based on the analysis of the determined game context.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining initial calibration settings for user inputs to a video game, the initial calibration settings being generated using an initial calibration process;
interpreting an instance of a particular user input that occurred during gameplay of the video game, using the initial calibration settings;
determining an in-game context that corresponds to the instance of the particular user input;
determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input;
and
adjusting the initial calibration settings based at least on determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining that the in-game context does not corroborate the interpreted instance of the particular user input.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining that a verbal command made by a user is not associated with the interpreted instance of the particular user input.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining that a gaze direction of a user is not associated with the interpreted instance of the particular user input.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining that a user has expressed dissatisfaction with an in-game context.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises identifying an instance of a subsequent, corrective user input.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the initial calibration settings comprises mapping a new intent to the particular user input.
9. A system comprising:
one or more computer processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store instructions which, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations comprising:
obtaining initial calibration settings for user inputs to a video game, the initial calibration settings being generated using an initial calibration process;
interpreting an instance of a particular user input that occurred during gameplay of the video game, using the initial calibration settings;
determining an in-game context that corresponds to the instance of the particular user input;
determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input; and
adjusting the initial calibration settings based at least on determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining that the in-game context does not corroborate the interpreted instance of the particular user input.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining an object that is pointed at by the particular user input.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining that a verbal command made by a user is not associated with the interpreted instance of the particular user input.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining that a gaze direction of a user is not associated with the interpreted instance of the particular user input.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining that a user has expressed dissatisfaction with an in-game context.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises identifying an instance of a subsequent, corrective user input.
16. The system of claim 9 , wherein adjusting the initial calibration settings comprises mapping a new intent to the particular user input.
17. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store instructions which, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to perform operations comprising:
obtaining initial calibration settings for user inputs to a video game, the initial calibration settings being generated using an initial calibration process;
interpreting an instance of a particular user input that occurred during gameplay of the video game, using the initial calibration settings;
determining an in-game context that corresponds to the instance of the particular user input;
determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input; and
adjusting the initial calibration settings based at least on determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input.
18. The media of claim 17 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining that the in-game context does not corroborate the interpreted instance of the particular user input.
19. The media of claim 17 , wherein determining that the in-game context is not consistent with the interpreted instance of the particular user input comprises determining an object that is pointed at by the particular user input.
