Claim:
1. A projected display-interactive input mechanism comprising: a scanning mechanism configured to selectively scan at least some objects placed within a three-dimensional space over at least one input region on a first side of a display surface coincident with a display projected onto the first side of the display surface, in which one or more users may provide physical input to affect a display state; a light-emitting boundary definition mechanism configured to define the at least one input region; an input identification mechanism configured to identify an input represented by a scanned object scanned by the scanning mechanism, and associate the input with at least one user corresponding to the at least one input region in which the scanned object was scanned; and a communication mechanism for communicating information regarding scanned objects scanned by the scanning mechanism, and information regarding an input region the scanned object was scanned in.
