Abstract
Embodiments herein provide a method for determining, utilizing an output from a beacon device detected using one or more sensors, a physical location of an interactive device in a physical space. Additionally, the method includes receiving an indication that an augmented reality scene is being displayed, where the augmented reality scene includes the physical space and a first virtual element. The method also includes identifying a predefined dynamic based on characteristics of the interactive device and the first virtual element. Finally, the method includes determining a physical movement to perform based on the determined physical location of the interactive device and the predefined dynamic, and activating the one or more actuators to cause the determined physical movement.
