Abstract:
1. A storage container configured for use in an interactive display system, the interactive display system being configured to produce an image of a graphical object on a display surface, as well as respond to movement or disposition of a physical object proximate to or in contact with the display surface, the storage container comprising: (a) a convex volume that is selectively accessible for storage of objects, including objects that may be usable with an interactive display system, the volume being disposed proximate to a peripheral portion of an interactive display system so that a housing of the interactive display system at least supports the storage, the volume being configured and disposed relative to an interior of the interactive display system so as to avoid interference with operation of the interactive display system, the storage including a volume sleeve with an elastomeric bias that tends to conform the volume sleeve to the convex shape of the housing, the elastomeric bias being provided by a plurality of elastomeric rods embedded within at least two of the edges of the volume sleeve; and (b) a member that is adapted to be engaged by a user to selectively access the volume, the member being attached to the volume sleeve, such that when the member is engaged by the user, the volume sleeve adjusts from the convex form to a concave form.
