Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to utilizing ultrasonic transducers and receivers to implement directional sound in combination with gesture detection in an Electronic Gaming Machine (EGM). In one embodiment, a set of ultrasound transducers transmits positional ultrasound pulses to identify the player and/or his gesture, as well as an audio carrier signal, e.g., through a direction speaker, providing directional sound based on the feedback from the ultrasound pulses. Further, embodiments may implement air haptics in both or either of the transmitted pulses of the ultrasonic transducers and/or the audio signal from the directional speaker to provide an enhanced user experience.
