Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for delivering a requested game experience at any of multiple distributed venues. Each venue can include respective gameplay areas and multimedia gaming equipment for delivering a game experience in each gameplay area. The system can include a booking system for managing game bookings across the venues and a master central server configured to generate game sessions based on bookings at the booking system.

Abstract: A distributed computer system for delivering a requested game experience at any venue of a plurality of distributed venues comprises: at each venue: a plurality of local units serving respective gameplay areas of the venue, each local unit coupled to a set of multimedia gaming equipment for delivering a game experience in its gameplay area, and a venue central unit configured to connect to each of the local units of that venue; a booking system for managing game bookings across the plurality of distributed venues, the booking system configured to receive, from a user device, a booking request denoting a requested venue of the plurality of distributed venues, and create a booking in response; and a master central server configured to connect to the session management system and the venue central unit of each venue; wherein the master central server is configured to generate a game session based on the booking, and automatically communicate the game session to the venue central unit of the requested venue, wher

Abstract: A frameless touchscreen display system comprises a frameless display screen; a display system arranged to render a moving image within a display area of the frameless display screen; an image rendering component configured to receive a detected touch input, determine an action associated with a location of the detected touch input within the display area, and modify the moving image to effect the associated touch action; a 2D lidar sensor positioned so that a detection plane of the 2D lidar sensor lies adjacent and substantially parallel to the frameless display screen; and a touch input detector coupled to the 2D lidar sensor and configured to: detect the touch input based on one or more object lidar returns from an object intersecting the detection plane at said location within the display area, and estimate said location within the display area based on (i) a return time and return angle of each object lidar return and (ii) a known position of the 2D lidar sensor relative to the frameless display screen.
