Abstract:
1. An interactive system, comprising: a housing which forms a substantially planar surface configured to support at least one printed media sheet, wherein the at least one printed media sheet comprises at least one lift-the-flap element; a playback device configured to provide multimedia data relating to the at least one lift-the-flap element of the at least one printed media sheet; a detector which is configured to detect a position of the at least one lift-the-flap element and provide position information; a processing unit coupled to the playback device and the detector, wherein the processing unit is configured to cause playback of the multimedia data via the playback device based on the position information provided by the detector, wherein the detector is configured to provide a first indication of when the at least one lift-the-flap element is lifted, and wherein the processing unit is configured to cause playback of the multimedia data via the playback device in response to the first indication; and wherein the detector is further configured to provide a second indication of when the at least one lift-the-flap element is returned to a substantially planar orientation with respect to the at least one printed media sheet, and wherein the processing unit is further configured to alter playback of the multimedia data in response to the second indication.
