Abstract:
1. An interactive input system comprising: computing structure; and an input device detecting at least one electronic device displaying a recognizable pattern within a three-dimensional (3D) input space and providing output to said computing structure, wherein said computing structure processes the output of the input device to: recognize the pattern displayed by the at least one electronic device in the 3D input space; detect the state of the at least one electronic device; and modify image data representing at least digital content associated with the displayed pattern and the displayed pattern by applying a transition to the digital content associated with the displayed pattern based on the detected state of the at least one electronic device; and a display coupled to said computing structure, the display presenting an image based on said image data, wherein when the detected state of the at least one electronic device signifies that a new recognizable pattern is visible thereon and the new recognizable pattern is maintained in the 3D input space within a threshold distance of a location corresponding to digital content in the image presented on the display for a threshold time period, the image data is further modified to associate the digital content with the new recognizable pattern, the associated digital content appearing in the image presented on the display using a visual effect.
