Abstract: A computer device and method for dynamically displaying at least one message 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 message presentation rules based on player movement data. The message presentation rules may govern the presentation of new messages, the removal of old messages, or change the way a given message is presented.

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 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: An electronic gaming machine that includes a three-dimensional (3D) graphics processor to generate a 3D game environment for a game. A display controller defines a view window of the three-dimensional game environment. The view window defines a portion of the three-dimensional game environment. An electronic display device displays, via a display interface, the portion of the three-dimensional game environment defined by the view window using the 3D graphics processor. A player input device detects a player request interaction input to update the view window to navigate within the three dimensional game environment. In response to detection by the player input device, the display controller updates the view window based on the update action to define another portion of the three-dimensional game environment. The player can navigate throughout the 3D game environment using player request interaction input.

Abstract: A gaming system, and method of controlling a gaming system, having a touchscreen, that simulates a game of skill by showing a graphical object and detecting a pair of spaced-apart user input touch points on the touchscreen. An increase in distance between the touch points corresponds to an increase in stress upon the object, which is animated on the touchscreen, and scaling of an associated reward. A failure threshold is selected and the increase in stress is tested against the failure threshold. The failure threshold may be at least partly randomized. If the stress exceeds the threshold, then a failure event is shown. If the touch input ceases, the user may elect to accept then current reward value or to continue. The object may be a bubble and the stress may be expansion of the bubble, leading to popping of the bubble if the expansion exceeds the failure threshold.
