Holographic Projection System for Gaming Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional gaming machines fail to engage and entertain casino patrons effectively, as their displays are stagnant and limited to fixed positions within the machine or signage, leading to reduced gaming revenues and slow growth in casino entertainment.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a gaming system with a holographic projection feature that projects images outside the gaming machine, creating immersive and interactive experiences by displaying attract mode and game play information in three-dimensional holograms within the surrounding space, enhancing the gaming environment and attracting players.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional fixed displays are used within gaming machines, then device complexity is reduced, but player engagement and entertainment value deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional fixed displays within machine housings to three-dimensional holographic projections in surrounding space. This dimensional expansion allows images to be displayed outside the traditional machine box, creating immersive attract modes and award presentations that surround the player, thereby resolving the contradiction between display flexibility and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a holographic projection system as an intermediary between the gaming machine and the player. This intermediary component enables the display of dynamic three-dimensional images in space without requiring complex internal modifications to the gaming machine itself, thus achieving display versatility while managing system complexity through modular integration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If displays are limited to fixed positions within machine housing, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but player engagement and attention attraction deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the display function from the fixed machine housing and relocates it to the surrounding space through holographic projection. This separation allows the gaming machine to maintain its simple manufactured form while the display capability is independently positioned and configured in three-dimensional space, resolving the contradiction between positioning flexibility and manufacturing simplicity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If attract mode and award displays are confined to physical machine box or sign, then device complexity is minimized, but ability to create immersive gaming environment deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs three-dimensional holographic projection to create immersive attract modes and award presentations that surround the player, transforming the gaming environment from a static two-dimensional experience to a dynamic three-dimensional spectacle. This dimensional enhancement resolves the contradiction between environmental immersion and system complexity by using projection technology that adds spatial depth without fundamentally redesigning the machine structure.

AI summary
A gaming system is provided that includes a gaming device which has at least one input device to receive an input from a player and at least one display device to relay gaming information to the player. The gaming system further includes a holographic image system configured to project a holographic image into a space outside of the gaming device. The holographic image system may be associated with a single gaming device, or which a plurality of gaming devices, such as a bank of gaming machines.
