Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer program product are described below that can provide and/or detect dynamic fiducial markers presented on a display of an apparatus. An apparatus providing the fiducial marker may initially provide for the presentation of the fiducial marker on a display, where the fiducial marker represents one or more properties of the apparatus, such as connectivity information for the apparatus. The apparatus may modify the presentation of the fiducial marker based on a change in one or more properties of the apparatus. An apparatus configured to detect dynamic fiducial markers provided on other device displays may also be configured to provide for the presentation of its own fiducial markers, and vice versa. Thus, in some cases, apparatuses may function as both a tangible user interface display and a tangible object (e.g., in a bi-directional communication scenario).
