Abstract
The present invention comprises a novel modular trigger marker device generally consisting of at least two cylindrical elements, which are connected in a way that will allow the top element to turn independently from the bottom element to reveal multiple variations of the unique identifying image printed on the bottom cylindrical element(s).
Claims20
A computer-generated perceptual information marking device comprising:
- At least two substantially flat layers, a first layer and a second layer;
- The first layer having a front side and a back side, the front side being imprinted with a plurality of design elements, wherein the design elements are individually recognizable by a video-enabled computer machine;
- The second layer having a front side and a back side and constructed to be opaque to the video-enabled computer machine, wherein the second layer is mobily attached to the front side of first layer, and configured to prevent at least one design element imprinted on the front side of the first layer from being recognized by the video-enabled computer machine;
- Wherein moving the orientation of the first layer and the second layer, permits the at least one design element imprinted on the front side of the first layer to be recognized by the video-enabled computer machine.

A method of creating a marked object in a hyper-reality system comprising
- (a) Providing a computer-generated perceptual information marking device which comprises:
- At least two substantially flat layers, a first layer and a second layer;
- The first layer having a front side and a back side, the front side being imprinted with a plurality of design elements, wherein the design elements are individually recognizable by a video-enabled computer machine;
- The second layer having a front side and a back side and constructed to be opaque to the video-enabled computer machine, wherein the second layer is mobily attached to the front side of the first layer, and configured to prevent at least one design element imprinted on the front side of the first layer from being recognized by the video-enabled computer machine;
- Wherein moving the orientation of the first layer and the second layer, permits the at least one design element imprinted on the front side of the first layer to be recognized by the video-enabled computer machine;
- (b) Presenting the computer-generated perceptual information marking device to a hyper-reality system which is configured present a user with a hyper-reality experience and is further configured to recognize the design elements of the computer-generated perceptual information marking device;
- (c) Moving a layer of the computer-generated perceptual information marking device to change the presented design elements, wherein the changed presented designed elements are recognized by the hyper-reality system as a distinct design element.
