I'm a pretty bad loser; I hate losing games and often feel like throwing the controller or some such thing at my opponent. I know it's an insane thought; the monitor costs much more than the smirk on my opponents face! But to indulge people like me Philips may be coming out with a solution, after all they believe in making life simple! They have filed a patent application for a video game system that uses a monitor that you can actually toss. Apparently the patent describes a durable, monitor that can show images as it's thrown around the room. A stationary sensor tracks the position of the ball as it moves, while player positions are tracked using ultrasound. The display can then display images that respond to its movements and position within the space. The patent entitled "Gaming System with Movable Display," begins:
An electronic gaming system comprising: a robust, movable display (101); a game controller(103), arranged to generate a game scenario, comprising generation of pictures to be displayed on the robust movable display (101); and - a trajectory mapping unit (105), arranged to map a virtual trajectory in space- time of a virtual world in the game scenario, with at least two of the pictures with unequal picture content corresponding to different locations of the virtual space-time trajectory, to a real trajectory of the robust movable display (101) in real space, so that at an appropriate moment the two of the pictures are displayed on the robust movable display (101)…
Although nothing else is known at this point, but I for one am waiting for this concept to take shape.
