Orientation tag for providing orientation information

An entertainment system, comprising:

• an orientation tag of a user interactive device, the orientation tag comprising a plurality of visual patterns and a visual alignment feature that limits viewing of the plurality of visual patterns based on a viewing orientation of the orientation tag;
• a camera configured to capture an image of the orientation tag of the user interactive device;
• and
• a controller having processing circuitry and a memory, the memory storing machine-readable instructions configured to cause the processing circuitry to:
• identify the orientation tag of the user interactive device in the image;
• and
• determine an orientation of the orientation tag based on orientation information associated with a visual pattern of the plurality of visual patterns captured in the image.

A user interactive device, comprising:

• an orientation tag comprising:
• a first layer comprising a plurality of patterns, wherein each pattern of the plurality of patterns indicates a set of orientation information;
• and
• a second layer disposed over the first layer, wherein the second layer comprises a plurality of elements configured to:
• enable a corresponding pattern of the plurality of patterns, wherein the corresponding pattern corresponds to a viewpoint of the orientation tag to be viewed from the viewpoint;
• and
• prevent non-corresponding patterns of the plurality of patterns, wherein the non-corresponding patterns do not correspond to the viewpoint of the orientation tag from being viewed from the viewpoint.
