Abstract
An interactive apparatus including a housing, at least one input device, and a control device. The housing includes a light source, a speaker, a front face including a display screen, a rear face configured to permit light from the light source to pass, and a bottom face. The control device is configured for receiving media and controlling one or more of the light source, speaker and display screen to produce output in association with the media. The apparatus is configured to be stood on a surface in a first mode in which the bottom face rests on the surface such that the display screen is directed in a first direction, and a second mode defined by the front face resting on the surface, and for which the control device is configured to dim, or turn off, the display screen each time the apparatus is placed in the second mode.
