Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic gaming machine (EGM) and methods of operating an EGM that provide 3D audio synced with 3D objects or player gestures. In various embodiments, the EGM includes a display device configured to display 3D images to a player without requiring the player to wear 3D glasses, and a binaural audio system configured to provide 3D audio synced with 3D objects or player gestures in association with one or more plays of a primary or secondary game or other EGM functionality.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of operating an electronic gaming machine, the method comprising:\n displaying, via a display device, a play of a game; loading, via a processor, a 3D environment including a 3D image and a corresponding 3D audio space, the 3D image including a virtual object, and the 3D audio space including an audio object corresponding to the virtual object; determining, via the processor, a 3D coordinate associated with the virtual object in the 3D image; determining, via the processor, a change in position of the virtual object; re-positioning, via a binaural audio system associated with the electronic gaming machine, a 3D position associated with the audio object in the 3D audio space based on the determined change in position of the virtual object; producing, via the binaural audio system, a binaural audio file based on the audio object included in the 3D audio space; generating, via the binaural audio system, a binaural audio stream based on the binaural audio file and pre-rendered audio associated with the 3D audio space; outputting, via a display device associated with the electronic gaming machine, an updated 3D image including the change in position of the virtual object; and simultaneously outputting, via the binaural audio system, the binaural audio stream, the binaural audio stream representative of an update to the 3D audio space including the re-positioned 3D position associated with the audio object corresponding to the virtual object.
