Abstract: An accessory is disclosed for use in a human-computer interface gaming or other application. The accessory can be held or otherwise interacted with by a user, where the accessory is sensed and displayed as a virtual object on a display. The virtual representation of the accessory may be an accurate recreation of the accessory, or it may be displayed as a virtual object appropriate to the gaming or other application. The real world accessory is flexible and may be morphed into a variety of forms to better suit a wide array of uses. This accessory may also serve as a platform upon which other accessories can be mounted to enhance user experience.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for directing light from a light source along a trajectory to avoid particular obstacles and provide uniform illumination of a surface having a particular geometry such as a cylindrical geometry is described. The surface may enclose components such as PCBs that provide particular functionality that operate as obstacles to a light beam.

Abstract: A rocker/tricycle combination toy is provided that can be used as either a rocking toy for children or a conventional tricycle. A tricycle can detachably connect to a rocking base so that a child can sit on the tricycle and rock back and forth. The rocking base is curved about a transverse axis for allowing rocking motion in a longitudinal direction. The tricycle is connected to the base through a support that includes a locking post that engages a socket provided in the underside of the tricycle. The rocking base can include troughs for receiving the rear wheels of the tricycle to retain the tricycle in alignment with the base. The rocking base can also include a trough for receiving the front wheel of the tricycle that allows a child to pedal the front wheel when the tricycle is mounted on the base. In another embodiment, the trough for receiving the front wheel can be configured to allow a child to steer the front wheel when the tricycle is mounted on the base.

Abstract: A combination booster seat and high chair having a back member and a pair of arm panels pivotally connected to the sides of the back member. The arms move between an operative position wherein they are disposed essentially perpendicular to and extending forward of the back member and an inoperative position wherein they lie in a plane closely adjacent to and parallel with the back member. A seat is detachably connected to both the back member and the arms panels and may be pivoted to a vertical position on the back member when the unit is in the inoperative position so that the seat panel lies between the back member and the side panels. A tray is detachably connected to the side panels and may be removed when the unit is in the inoperative position and stored adjacent the seat between the back member and the arm panels. The height of the seat may be varied by inverting it in the operative position, and the tray may be adjusted toward and away from the back member.

Abstract: The invention is a system for applying color to hair in such a manner as to show depth of color. The system comprises two application brushes of different lengths which are riveted together, and can be opened to dip into two colors simultaneously, then closed to apply both colors at once to show depth of color in the hair.
