Abstract

A system includes a first token associated with a display device and configured to be selectively repositioned by a user with respect to the display device, the first token having at least one interactive module configured to interact with a second token. The system may include a plurality of modules, each of which is configured to be selectively attached to a token, each of the modules providing a different capability to the token when attached thereto. A display system includes a display device; a sensor for detecting tokens used with the display device; a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor and the display device; and a first token associated with the display device and including an optical sensor for receiving data from the display device. The controller is configured to drive the display device to simultaneously display an image and transfer data to the first token.
