Augmented reality for wagering game activity

A mobile phone app lets you point your camera at a casino game machine. The app uses your phone's location, determined by GPS or cell tower signals, and the direction your camera is facing to figure out exactly which game machine you're looking at. It then downloads live game information or statistics for that machine and overlays it directly onto the camera's view on your phone screen.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread smartphone AR capabilities, the necessary real-time camera tracking and overlay rendering are now standard features on modern mobile devices. Faster mobile networks also make downloading live game data seamless.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
