Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method for enabling an augmented reality tracking system and a mobile device to display augmented reality by overlaying a virtual 3D object over a physical 3D object. The method includes: enabling a user to capture a live camera image of a 3D object via camera on the mobile device; determining if there are image tags on the 3D object in the live camera image; using the one or more image tags to access information used by the augmented reality system; and overlaying virtual 3D objects onto a live camera image of the virtual 3D object on a display of the mobile device to produce augmented reality effects, wherein the augmented reality tracking system establishes a communication channel with the gaming machine enabling additional elements of the game to be augmented on the mobile device, and elements of the game content to be influenced by the augmented state.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of enabling an augmented reality tracking system and a mobile device to overlay a virtual 3D component over a physical 3D component with which the virtual 3D component interacts, the method comprising: enabling a user to capture a live camera image of a gaming machine via a camera on the mobile device; determining if there are image tags on the gaming machine in the live camera image; in response to identifying the image tags on the gaming machi…
