Gaming System, Method and Device for Generating Images Having a Parallax Effect Using Face Tracking

A device to provide a game to a player producing a series of game events comprising:

• a video display including a first display overlaying at least a portion of a second display, said first display configured to have at least a portion thereof changeable between a transparent condition and a lenticular condition where at least a portion of said first display displays spaced vertical lenticular lines;
• apparatus for generating data corresponding to at least the approximate position correlated to the position of the user's head or eyes relative to the display, changes to said relative position changeable during operation of the device;
• a processor configured to (i) control the first display to said transparent condition and said second display to display an image related to the play of the game in a first, two-dimensional, state and (ii) in response to a command and using said data from said apparatus, control the first display to display said vertical lenticular lines and said image at said second display based upon said data to produce a three-dimensional effect to at least a portion of said image.

A method for presenting a game to a player on a device having overlying first and second video displays and a camera to acquire the image of the player during the presentation of the game, said method comprising;

• providing for the control of the first video display to be changeable between a transparent condition and a lenticular condition where at least a portion of said first display displays spaced vertical lenticular lines;
• configuring said device to provide said acquired images to a processor for determining at least the approximate position the player's head or eyes relative to the device, said relative position changeable during the presentation of the game;
• arranging said processor for (i) controlling the first display to said transparent condition and said second display to display at least one image related to the play of the game in a first, two-dimensional, state and (ii) in response to a command and using said determination of at least the approximate position the player's head or eyes relative to the device, controlling the first display to display said vertical lenticular lines and said image at said second display based upon said data to produce a three-dimensional effect to the user for said at least one image.
