Augmented reality for wagering game activity

This invention describes a system that uses a mobile phone to show augmented reality information about casino game machines. When you point your phone's camera at a specific wagering game machine, the phone determines its own location using GPS or cellular signals, and the direction its camera is facing. This information helps identify the exact game machine. The system then downloads real-time data about that machine's activity and overlays it onto the live camera feed on your phone's screen.

Why it matters: Filed in 2011, this invention predates the widespread availability and sophistication of mobile augmented reality frameworks and advanced on-device image processing capabilities. Modern smartphones and cloud infrastructure make real-time object recognition and dynamic AR overlays significantly more feasible and performant today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, server infrastructure, image processing
