Abstract
An accessory for a touch-sensitive display includes an image transfer structure and a capacitive marker. The image transfer structure is configured to relay or transfer, above the touch-sensitive display, an optical display plane of an image displayed by the touch-sensitive display. Further, the capacitive marker is capacitively-recognizable by the touch-sensitive display such that the touch-sensitive display visually presents the image in alignment with the image transfer structure.

An accessory configured to be placed on a display surface of a touch-sensitive display, the accessory comprising:
- a base movable relative to the display surface;
- an image transfer structure configured to relay or transfer, above the display surface, an optical display plane of an image displayed by the touch-sensitive display;
- a gripping member moveable relative to the base, the gripping member forming an aperture at least partially filled by the image transfer structure;
- a logic device configured to derive user input information from a relative position of the gripping member and the base;
- and
- a communication interface configured to send the user input information to the touch-sensitive display.
An accessory configured to be placed on a display surface of a touch-sensitive display, the accessory comprising:
- a base movable relative to the display surface;
- a gripping member moveable relative to the base;
- and
- a capacitive marker fixed relative to the base and capacitively-recognizable by the touch-sensitive display;
- and
- wherein the accessory is configured to communicate, to the touch-sensitive display, user input information derived from a relative position of the gripping member and the base.
