Pairing augmented reality devices with electronic gaming machines

This invention describes an augmented reality device, such as smart glasses or a smartphone, equipped with a camera and wireless connectivity. It works by using its camera to scan electronic gaming machines (EGMs), identifying a specific machine by recognizing visible features on its display, like a credit meter. Once identified, the AR device establishes a wireless connection with that particular EGM.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread consumer AR adoption. Modern smartphone cameras and computer vision algorithms are now powerful enough to reliably identify and interact with EGM displays.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComputer vision, network integration, software logic.
