SLIM TERMINAL GAMING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000030729
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A computer gaming system (100) and method of operation thereof are provided that both drastically reduce the cost of gaming stations and allow contemporaneous access to multiple game programs (112) from a single gaming station. In addition, the computer gaming system (100) of the present invention allows for transparent modifications and upgrades to the gaming programs (112). This is accomplished by executing gaming programs (112) on a server/host computer (110) connected to a plurality of client/terminal computers (120) via communication pathways (130). Each client/terminal computer (120) comprises a client/terminal program (122) that allows input and output streams of the computer gaming program (112) executed on the server/host computer (110) to be separated and redirected to the client/terminal computers (120). Further, a patron of a client/terminal computer (120) can access any of the gaming programs (112) executed on the server/host computer (110). Finally, by using a stereo head-mounted display together with a six degrees of freedom joystick input device and wireless communication pathways, the present invention allows a patron to participate in a mobile gaming environment.
