Abstract: A computer device and method for dynamically displaying at least one advertisement to a player of a game are provided. The computer device may be an electronic gaming machine, and comprises a camera which can be used to collect data on the movement of a player of an electronic game. The movements of the player may then be analyzed and used to select an advertisement to present to the player based on player movement data. The player movement data may also be used to generate advertising preferences for the player, and may be compiled into an advertising profile. The advertising profile may then be shared with other advertisers.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine is provided. The computer device comprises at least one data storage unit storing game data for a game, a display unit to display graphical game components to a player of the game, at least one data capture unit, such as a camera, to collect data about the player's gaze, and a processor to process the player gaze data, determine if a player gaze condition is satisfied, determine whether a game condition is satisfied. If both the player gaze condition and the game condition are satisfied, the processor modifies at least some of the graphical game components based on the player gaze condition and the game condition.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine to play an interactive game where a player's eye gaze acts as x-ray vision. A graphics processor generates an interactive game environment and defines a viewing area as its subset. A display device displays the viewing area, where a visible game component masks an invisible game component. A display controller controls rendering of the viewing area on the display device using the graphics processor. At least one data capture camera device continuously monitors player eye gaze to collect player eye gaze data. A game controller calculates a player eye gaze location relative to the viewing area, the location corresponding to the invisible game component, and triggers a control command to the display controller. In response, the display controller controls the display device in real-time to provide a graphical animation effect representative of a visual update to the visible game component to reveal the invisible game component.

Abstract: An electronic gaming machine where the player plays an interactive game using their player eye gaze. A graphics processor generates an interactive game environment and defines a viewing area as its subset, the viewing area having visible game components. A display device displays the viewing area having the plurality of visible game components. The display controller controls rendering of the viewing area on the display device using the graphics processor. At least one data capture camera device continuously monitors the player eye gaze to collect player eye gaze data. The game controller determines the location of the player's eye gaze relative to the viewing area and triggers a control command to the display controller. In response, the display controller controls the display device in real-time to provide a graphical animation effect displayed on the display device representative of a visual update to the visible game components in the viewing area.

Abstract: A computer device and method for displaying a 3D avatar and causing the 3D avatar to move are provided. The computer device may be an electronic gaming machine, and comprises a camera which can be used to collect data on the movement of a player of an electronic game. The movements of the player may then be analyzed and used to generate avatar movement data for moving the 3D avatar. The 3D avatar may mimic the motions of the player, or may react to the player's motions in complimentary fashion. Additionally, the electronic gaming machine may be networked to other like electronic gaming machines, which may share avatar movement data amongst themselves.
