AR Gambling

A new video featuring a unique AR filter is turning heads online and kickstarting discussions around the impact of immersive technology on the gambling industry. The video showcases an AR overlay capable of providing an estimated win percentage in a game of Texas Hold Em’ in real-time just by looking at the cards in the player’s hand. This concept brings up several interesting questions about the future of gambling and immersive technology.

As AR continues to evolve so too will the design of the devices themselves. Casino security should have no trouble spotting a Magic Leap 2 or Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset at the table, but it won’t be that easy forever. Snapchat’s Spectacles AR glasses, for instance, offer surprisingly complex AR experiences despite its relatively discrete design. We’ll have more information on the Spectacles in our full hands-on preview coming soon.
