Abstract
Provided herein is an electronic gaming machine that includes a processor that generates augmented reality (AR) data for multiple AR devices that are communicatively coupled to the machine. The AR data is user specific to each of the AR devices. An output circuit transmits the AR data to the AR devices. The AR devices generate display data to corresponding users that includes a physical environmental image and the AR data that is specific to the AR devices. The physical environmental image includes shared game data that is viewable by the users via the corresponding ones of the AR devices.
Claims20
A computer implemented method comprising:
- transmitting, by a gaming device, first game data to a first augmented reality (AR) device that generates first display content that corresponds to a game and that is viewable by a first user of the first AR device, wherein the first game data is first user-specific game data;
- transmitting, by the gaming device, second game data to a second AR device that generates second display content that corresponds to the game and that is viewable by a second user of the second AR device, wherein the second game data is second user-specific game data;
- generating, using a display, shared display content that comprises shared game data that is viewable by the first user and the second user;
- and
- providing to the first user, via the first AR device, a first combined display content that is a combination of the shared data and the first display content and does not include the second display content.
A system for providing a multi-player wagering game, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- a communication interface that is communicatively coupled to a first augmented reality (AR) device that transmits a first physical environmental image to a first user based on an orientation of the first AR device and a second AR device that transmits a second physical environmental image to a second user based on an orientation of the second AR device;
- and
- a processor that is coupled to the memory and the communication interface and that is configured to:
- provide first game data to be transmitted to the first AR device that generates first display content that corresponds to a game and that is viewable by the first user of the first AR device, wherein the first game data is first user-specific game data;
- provide second game data to be transmitted to a second AR device that generates second display content that corresponds to the game and that is viewable by a second user of the second augmented display device, wherein the second game data is second user-specific game data;
- wherein the first user is provided, via the first AR device, a first combined display content that is a combination of the first physical environmental image and the first display content;
- and
- wherein the second user is provided, via the second AR device, a second combined display content that is a combination of the second physical environmental image and the second display content.
An electronic gaming machine, comprising:
- a processor that generates augmented reality (AR) data for a plurality of AR devices that are communicatively coupled to the machine, the AR data being user specific to each of the plurality of AR devices;
- and
- an output circuit that transmits the AR data to the plurality of AR devices, wherein the plurality of AR devices generate display data to corresponding ones of a plurality of users, the display data each comprising a physical environmental image and the AR data that is specific to a corresponding one of the plurality of AR devices,
- wherein the physical environmental image comprises shared game data that is viewable by the plurality of users via the corresponding ones of the plurality of AR devices.
