Abstract: There is provided a method for augmenting a virtual environment. The method comprises identifying one or more actions of one or more non-users in a real environment of a user who is interacting with a virtual environment, in dependence on data relating to the non-users captured using one or more sensors, characterising the one or more identified actions of the non-users relative to one or more corresponding reference actions, and modifying an aspect of behaviour of one or more characters in the virtual environment that are not controlled by the user, in dependence on the characterisation of the one or more identified actions of the non-users.

Abstract: 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.
