Magnetic 3D and Tatung Co. of the Americas recently announced an exclusive partnership to develop turn-key, interactive and immersive glasses-free 3D display solutions for the casino gaming market.
The solutions will allow casino game manufacturers to develop new games from the ground up and/or up-date their current line-up of popular games to incorporate Magnetic 3D’s revolutionary “Enabl3D” format , allowing end-users the opportunity to experience 3D content without the use of 3D eyewear, according to the companies.
Magnetic 3D’s Enabl3D technology offers game developers new revenue streams, and the opportunity to create entirely new 3D game concepts and 3D gaming experiences, while the technology is backwards compatible to support 2D games and content. Magnetic 3D selected Tatung to deliver an array of hardware solutions, from 3D gaming to digital signage, from its headquarters in Long Beach, Calif.
“Working with best-of-breed partners has always been our mantra, and Tatung is nothing short of the global leader in the electronics manufacturing industry,” said Tom Zerega, co-founder and CEO of Magnetic 3D, New York. “Having Tatung’s engineering and production capabilities behind Magnetic 3D will allow us to focus on our core competencies — such as product development, marketing and support — and, as a result, allow us to deliver turn-key, end-to-end 3D solutions globally through various distribution channels en masse.”
The companies will jointly unveil their debut glasses-free 3D display technology for slot machine gaming at G2E’s Global Gaming Expo, scheduled for Nov. 17-19 in Las Vegas.
The showcase will include Magnetic 3D’s new Envolv product line, which include 22-inch 3D touch monitors that transform 2D slot machines into interactive 3D gaming experiences (3D integration required), according to the company. Magnetic 3D will be on-site to demonstrate its technology’s 2D/3D seamless and side-by-side playback features and backwards compatibility with legacy 2D games.
