Interactive design and amusement system

Abstract

An interactive design and amusement system comprising a plurality of components (12). a data transmitter (20), a data receiver (22) and a display device (26). The components (12) are adapted so that they may be arranged relative to one another on a baseboard (10) which has electrical connections (14) formed thereon. Each component has electrical connections (34,36), identification means (35), orientation means and data transmission means (30). The data transmission means transmits data indicative of the identity of each component (12) and its orientation, relative to another component, to a receiver. The system also includes means for processing the data (18,24) received so that signals are generated for transmission to the display device (26) where images which correspond to the components (12) are displayed. The system may be used, for example, to model buildings, airports etc.
