Abstract
Dynamic game system and associated methods provide a three dimensional dynamic environment for a game or simulation. The dynamic game system includes a controller for generating a dynamic image for the dynamic environment and a flexible game board, in communication with the controller, for displaying the dynamic image. The game board is flexible and provides depth to the three dimensional environment. The controller automatically zooms the dynamic image in and out between detail levels of the game.
Claims8
A dynamic game system for providing a three dimensional dynamic environment for a game, comprising:
- a controller for generating a dynamic image for the dynamic environment;
- a game board, in communication with the controller, having a display surface with at least two display segments that cooperate under control of the controller to form the display surface, deformable in depth, for displaying the dynamic image;
- and
- two or more actuators for supporting the game board, wherein the actuators are controlled by the controller to dynamically change the elevation of at least part of the game board relative to other parts of the game board.
