DEVICE FOR PLAYING AIR HOCKEY Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A63F7/07 A63F7/00 

FIELD: indoor board games.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of indoor board games simulating sports games in which the playing objects are in continuous contact with the playing surface or are supported by it, for example, using an air cushion to support it. The present device for playing air hockey, like the prototype, has a table for the game, consisting of a base with a flat playing field, bounded by a solid side and gates located on opposite sides, a puck and bats supported on the playing field by means of an air cushion, a projector located with the ability to play on the playing field of the image, as well as a sound reproduction facility. To achieve the augmented reality effect that provides a high level of involvement in the game, unlike the prototype, at the base of the field there are two rows of orthogonally located isolated electrodes, forming a grid of coordinates of the points of the field, which allows you to track the coordinates of the puck and the bit during the game, change in accordance with coordinates of the image displayed on the field, and adjust the sound for each change in the image, while the washer and bits have electrically conductive properties.

EFFECT: invention ensures the augmented reality effect.
