Abstract
A storage is provided for an interactive display system that both provides a graphic display and responds to objects disposed proximate to or in contact with a display surface. Due to a limited available volume within a housing of the interactive display system, the storage is provided either external to the housing, or within a peripheral portion of the housing so as not to interfere with the operation of the interactive display system. In one embodiment, a sheet of flexible material is coupled to an exterior surface of the housing. Elastomeric edges of the sheet are pulled away from the housing to provide access to a volume disposed between the sheet and the external surface of the housing. In another embodiment, pockets are formed within a sheet hung from a backing, adjacent to the external surface. Yet another embodiment includes a drawer within a peripheral portion of the display.
