1. A toy construction system comprising toy construction elements, the toy construction system comprising:
at least one marker construction element comprising a coupling mechanism for releasably interconnecting the at least one marker construction elements with at least one of the toy construction elements and each having a visual appearance recognisable by an image processor, and
a data processing system comprising a camera, image processor, and display, wherein the data processing system is adapted to:
capture an image of a toy construction model constructed from the toy construction elements, the toy construction elements comprising a coupling mechanism for releasably interconnecting the toy construction elements, wherein at least a first toy construction element of the toy construction model is interpreted by the data processing system as a virtual button;
process the captured image to detect a presence of the at least one marker construction element within the captured image responsive to a user connecting the at least one marker construction element to the toy construction model;
trigger a virtual action responsive to the detected at least one marker construction element being connected to the first toy construction element; and
display a composite image comprising the captured image having superimposed a generated computer-generated image.
