Controlling three-dimensional presentation of wagering game content

摘要

Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to presenting wagering game content in stereoscopic 3D according to an optimal autostereoscopic view for an autostereoscopic display based on a viewing perspective of a player when the player views the wagering game content. Some embodiments are also directed to determining that the player looks away from the wagering game content and maintaining, or freezing, presentation of wagering game content in 3D according to the optimal autostereoscopic view. Some embodiments are directed to updating the optimal autostereoscopic view based on changes to the viewing perspective while the player looks away from the wagering game content. Some embodiment are also directed to changing the presentation of the wagering game content to 2D, and restoring the one or more portions to 3D based on a degree of player attentiveness after the player looks at the wagering game content again.

主权项

1. A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising:
detecting, according to electronic analysis of player movements via a perspective tracking device of the gaming system, a player viewing perspective as at least a portion of wagering game content presented via an autostereoscopic display of a wagering game machine is being observed; determining, via an electronic processing unit of the gaming system, an autostereoscopic view of the at least the portion of the wagering game content for the autostereoscopic display based on the player viewing perspective; graphically rendering, via a graphical processing device, the at least the portion of the wagering game content with a degree of stereoscopic three-dimensional effect for the autostereoscopic view; detecting, via the perspective tracking device, a change in the player viewing perspective; determining, according to the change in the player viewing perspective, that the at least the portion of the wagering game content is not being observed; and freezing, via the graphical processing device, a rendered presentation state of the at least the portion of the wagering game content with the degree of the stereoscopic three-dimensional effect according to the autostereoscopic view in response to the determining that at least the portion of the wagering game content is not being observed.
