Abstract
Interaction techniques are described herein involving communications between an interactive display, an interactive system, and at least two generic interaction devices. The interactive system may process relative location information for the generic interaction devices, and the interactive system may cause the interactive display to depict interactions between generic, real-world interaction devices. This may allow for enhanced individual interaction between one or more physical generic interaction devices and a virtualized environment or a virtual world presented by the interactive display. This may also allow for other interactions between a set of generic interaction devices that can be interpreted and presented by the interactive display.
Claims22
An interaction device comprising:
- a location detection component configured for detecting relative location information, wherein the relative location information includes an interaction device location relative to a second interaction device;
- and
- a location communication component configured for wirelessly transmitting the relative location information to an interactive display, wherein the interactive display modifies a virtual object within a virtual environment based on the relative location information.
A method performed by an interaction device comprising:
- detecting relative location information for the interaction device relative to a second interaction device;
- and
- transmitting the relative location information from the interaction device to an interactive display.
A system comprising:
- a master interaction device and a slave interaction device configured to detect and transmit relative location information;
- and
- an interactive device, the interactive device including:
- a component configured to receive relative location information;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory including instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to manipulate at least one virtual object in an interactive environment.
