Abstract: A system and method for improved targeting of a long-range object in a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game is provided. Initially, a touch gesture is received at a tool selection area of a dynamic image provided by the MOBA game, enabling a user to select a tool (e.g., an ability, a virtual weapon, a spell, or the like) to target an object within the virtual world. Next, a second touch gesture is received at a mini-map of the virtual world causing the dynamic image to be automatically adjusted from a perspective corresponding to a character controlled by the user to a perspective representing the location selected within the mini-map. Finally, a third touch gesture is received at a targeting tool providing a target range of the selected tool within the adjusted dynamic image and the user can more precisely and accurately target the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing customized camera views of virtualized environments are provided herein. In one embodiment a system includes a memory for storing executable instruction; and a processor coupled to the memory, where the processor is configured to execute the instructions to provide a virtual gaming environment on a touch screen display device. During a traveling of a projectile, a touch-based user input is received on the touch screen display device. Then, a customized camera view of the gameplay event of interest based on the touch-based user input is provided.

Abstract: A collapsible juggling club is disclosed herein. The collapsible juggling club can include an end portion, a plurality of intermediate portions, and a handle portion. The end portion defines a cavity and includes a first diameter. The handle portion includes a second diameter that is less than the first diameter of the end portion. The plurality of intermediate portions include descending diameters and are arranged telescopically between the end portion and the handle portion, such that the juggling club can telescopically transition between a collapsed condition, wherein each intermediate portion of the plurality is nested with the cavity defined by the end portion, and an extended condition, wherein the end portion, each intermediate portion of the plurality, and the handle portion are secured to an adjacent portion via a friction fit.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to allow reserved content to be used at the proper timing. The information processing device of the present invention comprises a storage unit that stores acquirable content that has been reserved by the user without having been acquired, as reserved content; a selection unit that selects reserved content that is the same as the content that becomes the designated trade-for content from among the user's reserved content, as a result of a designated operation performed by the user that wants to acquire the trade-for content in a trade; and a notification unit that notifies the user that the selected reserved content can be acquired without a trade.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of generating a virtual 3D environment, a hierarchy of slots is provided. The slots are organized in tiers from one or more top tier slots to one or more bottom tier slots. Each slot defines a portion of a 3D environment and includes a plurality of layouts. Each layout of a non-bottom tier slot defines a position of at least one slot from a lower tier within the portion of the 3D environment. One or more of the top tier slots are positioned within the 3D environment. The 3D environment is generated by randomly selecting one of the plurality of layouts of the top tier slot and the lower tier slots, and populating each of the selected layouts with one or more objects. The 3D environment is rendered for display.

Abstract: In accordance with the teachings of the present embodiment, a system and method for wireless gaming with location-dependent gaming functions are provided. In a particular embodiment, the apparatus includes a gaming server; a wireless network at least partially covering a property, the wireless network comprising a plurality of signal detection devices; and a gaming communication device operable to transmit and receive gaming information to and from the gaming server via the wireless network. A location of the gaming communication device on the property is used to alter a game play function, such as a bet option, wager, graphic overlay, permission, or to provide location-dependent advertising or embedded advertising. Based upon the location of the gaming communication device on the property, a predetermined functionality of the gaming communication device may be enabled and/or controlled.

Abstract: Multi-user shared mixed reality devices, methods, and systems are disclosed. The disclosure includes a plurality of head-mounted mixed reality systems, interconnected through a network that may also include a central server. A first user defines the boundaries of a first room containing said first user, as well as the boundaries of one or more objects within said room. Said first user also defines the location and/or boundaries of an inter-user window for sharing mixed reality elements with other users. Additional users perform similar definitional steps. Multi-user matchmaking is performed, comprises virtually stitching together a virtual version of a first physical room associated with said first user with a virtual version of a second physical room associated with a second user at a location where a first virtual inter-user window and a second virtual inter-user window coincide. Various combinations of the disclosed devices, methods, and systems may be implemented.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for administering a wagering game and an integrated broadcast announcement. The wagering game is facilitated by a wagering sub-system that communicates with a plurality of gaming machines over a wide area network so that each gaming machine presents a unique wagering game session having a random wagering game result. The integrated broadcast announcement is provided by a video presentation sub-system that is communicatively coupled to the wagering sub-system and at least one stationary monitor over the wide area network. The video presentation sub-system integrates a first wagering game session result associated with a first gaming machine, a second wagering game session result associated with a second gaming machine, and commentary about the first and second wagering game session results into the integrated broadcast announcement.

Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods of revealing portions of outcomes of real-world wagers through interactive media by storing reserve wagers, receiving an indication a first token has been acquired by a user, determining a tracking wager associated with the first token, matching a stored reserve wager with the tracking wager, associating the matched reserve wager with the first token, and revealing at least a portion of the outcome of the matched reserve wager to the user by the user's interaction with the interactive media. By integrating real-world wager outcomes with user interactions, the system may provide an engaging user experience with interactive media. For example, a game may reveal an outcome of a real-world wager (which has already occurred), in response to in-game actions such as user actions in the game, other players' actions, game events, and/or other events.
