Immersive Roulette Gaming System with Ball Motion Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional roulette gaming experiences lack immersion, as players cannot closely follow the ball's movement and momentum leading up to its fall into a pocket, limiting the excitement and engagement of the game.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system that uses multiple cameras and a hardware processor to detect the ball's motion and produce slow-motion images and audio effects when the ball is about to fall into a pocket, enhancing the user's experience with real-time video and audio data transmission to user devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional roulette gaming is used, then the game operates simply, but the user experience lacks immersion and excitement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies of the roulette wheel, ball, and table using computer-generated imagery (CGI) that replicate the physical game elements. Multiple camera angle copies provide different perspectives of the same game action, allowing users to view the ball's movement from various viewpoints without requiring multiple physical wheels
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a digital/virtual dimension to the traditional physical roulette game by overlaying computer-generated slow-motion footage and multiple camera angles onto the live game stream. This creates an immersive multi-dimensional experience where users can view the game from perspectives impossible in physical reality, such as slow-motion close-ups and virtual camera positions
2Reliability
If slow-motion effects and multiple camera angles are added, then user immersion is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical modifications to the physical roulette wheel with a computer vision system that captures standard-speed video and processes it through software to generate slow-motion effects. Instead of modifying the physical game equipment, the system uses digital processing to achieve the desired visual effects
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-captures video footage of the ball's movement at normal speed, then processes this pre-captured footage to generate slow-motion sequences. This preliminary capture allows the system to create immersive slow-motion effects without interfering with the real-time game flow or requiring complex real-time mechanical adjustments
3Reliability
If real-time video and audio processing is implemented, then user engagement is enhanced, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies slow-motion effects periodically rather than continuously - specifically during the critical moment when the ball is approaching the pocket and just after it lands. This periodic application of enhanced processing reduces overall computational load while maintaining user engagement during the most exciting moments of the game
