VIRTUAL MOVABLE MECHANICAL DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A casino gaming machine comprising:
- at least one processor;
at least one interface operable to provide a communication link to at least one other device;
memory;
a movable display device including a first surface portion; and
a projection system operable to project content onto the first surface portion of the movable display device;
the gaming machine being operable to project content onto the first surface portion of the movable display device during a first time period when the movable display device is moving;
the gaming machine being further operable to manage content projected onto the first surface portion of the movable display device such that the projected content is coordinated with movement of the movable display device during the first time period.

Abstract
Various techniques are disclosed for displaying content on a movable display device. According to specific embodiments, content to be projected onto a first surface portion of the movable display device may be identified. At least one operation may be performed to determine movement characteristics associated with the movable display device during a first time period when the movable display device is moving. At least one operation may be performed to coordinate a first portion of the content to be projected with movement of the movable display device in a manner such that, when the first portion of content is projected onto the movable display device, the projected content is coordinated with movement of the movable display device. The first portion of content may then be projected onto the first surface portion of the movable display device during the first time period.
