Using magnetism to move a physical object proximate a base

A system comprising:

• a base comprising a body, wherein the body comprises:
• an electromagnet configured to generate a magnetic field at a support surface,
• a controller configured to control the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet to induce an entertainment object proximate to the support surface to perform a desired action, and
• a wireless transmitter configured to emit a location signal;
• and
• an audio system comprising:
• a plurality of speakers,
• at least one receiver configured to receive the location signal, and
• a sound controller configured to:
• determine a location of the base relative to the audio system based on the location signal, and
• output 3D positional audio using the speakers that a user perceives as originating from the location of the base.

A method, comprising:

• activating, by a controller, an electromagnet in a base to affect a permanent magnetic fixedly disposed on an entertainment object to cause the entertainment object to perform a desired action when the entertainment object is proximate to a support surface of the base;
• receiving a location signal transmitted by a wireless transmitter in the base at an audio system, wherein the base comprises a body, wherein the body comprises the controller, the electromagnet and the wireless transmitter;
• determining a location of the base relative to the audio system based on the location signal;
• and
• generating 3D positional audio using the audio system that a user perceives as originating from the location of the base, wherein the 3D positional audio is output synchronously with the desired action performed by the entertainment object.
