Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to use of and interaction with a wearable device comprising a wireless communications interface, an augmented reality display, an input device, a processor coupled with the wireless communications interface, the display, and the input device, and a memory coupled with and readable by the processor. The memory can store therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive, through the wireless communications interface from a gaming system of a gaming venue, information related to a competitive event. The processor can present, through the augmented reality display, a menu comprising a set of options related to the competitive event, receive, from the input device an input indicating a selected option from the set of options related to the competitive event, and send, to the gaming system of the gaming venue, a message comprising information related to the selected option.

maintain a user profile for a user of the wearable device, the user profile defining a set of preferences for the user;

update the user profile based on the selected option;

provide, through the augmented reality display, information to the user regarding an upcoming event of potential interest to the user based on the user preferences;

generate a recommendation of a service of the gaming venue for the user of the wearable device based on the user profile; and

present, through the augmented reality display, the generated recommendation of the service of the gaming venue.

2. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the selected option comprises an option to place a wager on an outcome of the competitive event.

3. The wearable device of claim 2 , wherein the set of instructions further causes the processor of the wearable device to maintain, in cooperation with the memory, information indicating an available game play credit for a user of the wearable device.

4. The wearable device of claim 3 , wherein the information related to the selected option comprises an amount of the wager from the available game play credit for the user of the wearable device and wherein the set of instructions further causes the processor of the wearable device to decrement the information indicating the available game play credit for the user of the wearable device by at least the amount of the wager.

5. The wearable device of claim 4 , wherein the set of instructions further causes the processor to:

receive, from the gaming system through the wireless communications interface, a notification of the outcome of the competitive event;

present, through the augmented reality display, an indication of the outcome of the competitive event; and

modify the information indicating the available game play credit for the user of the wearable device maintained by the processor of the wearable device based on the outcome of the competitive event and the wager placed on the outcome.

6. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the set of instructions further causes the processor to:

receive, from the gaming system through the wireless communications interface, information comprising a real-time update of a status of the competitive event; and

present, through the augmented reality display, the received information comprising the real-time update of the status of the competitive event.

7. The wearable device of claim 6 , wherein the information comprising the real-time update of the status of the competitive event comprises a live video stream.

8. A system comprising:

a gaming system comprising a communications interface coupled with a communications network, a processor, coupled with the communications interface and a memory coupled with and readable by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:

send, through the communications interface to a wearable device, information related to a game,

receive, through the communications interface from the wearable device, a message comprising information related to a wager on an outcome of the game, and

provide, to the wearable device through the communications interface, information comprising a real-time update of a status of the game; and

the wearable device comprising a wireless communications interface, an augmented reality display, an input device, a processor coupled with the wireless communications interface, the augmented reality display, and the input device, and a memory coupled with and readable by the processor and storing therein a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:

receive, through the wireless communications interface, the information related to the game;

present, through the augmented reality display, a menu comprising a set of options related to the game;

receive, from the input device an input indicating a selected option from the set of options related to the game;

send, to the gaming system of the gaming venue, the message comprising information related to the wager on the outcome of the game based on the selected option;

maintain a user profile for a user of the wearable device, the user profile defining a set of preferences for the user;

update the user profile based on the selected option;

provide, through the augmented reality display, information to the user regarding an upcoming event of potential interest to the user based on the user preferences;

generate a recommendation of a service of the gaming venue for the user of the wearable device based on the user profile; and

present, through the augmented reality display, the generated recommendation of the service of the gaming venue.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the information comprising the real-time update of the status of the game comprises a notification that the game has concluded and an indication of a result of the game.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the set of instructions further causes the processor of the gaming system to provide, to the wearable device through the communications interface, information related to a service of a venue related to the system.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the set of instructions further causes the processor of the gaming system to receive, from the wearable device through the communications interface, a request for the service of the venue related to the system.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the set of instructions further causes the processor of the gaming system to provide, to the wearable device through the communications interface, a notification of an event of a venue related to the system.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the providing the notification of the event is further based on a set of preferences for a user of the wearable device.

14. A method comprising:
