"We're pleased to be working with them in the fast-growing gaming sector, and are looking forward to working closely with IGT and their team to bring the PureDepth technology to market in next-generation gaming devices as quickly as possible.

Beyond its ability to provide a more eye-catching and engaging display via true depth of imagery on multiple planes in a single monitor, the PureDepth technology effectively enables the presentation of more information more quickly yet with higher cognition and retention of information. In the case of wager-based gaming, this means that a single screen of a digital slot machine can offer the player more wagering options without cluttering the screen or making the experience more complicated. Further, the ability to update the visual display instantly and automatically will result in more timely and topical gaming experiences, with game themes and imagery changing on-the-fly.

PureDepth technology is an LCD layered, multi-dimensional (using real depth between two or more LCD panels) viewing innovation that enables users to simultaneously view two separate fields of data on one monitor. By overlaying two or more separate image planes within a single monitor, PureDepth technology provides true depth of vision that significantly enhances the visual experience with faster response to time-critical data and better assimilation and comprehension of data of any kind.
