  • Publication number: 20240028844
    Abstract: A process for triggering projected displays can comprise determining that an RFID device has moved within a predetermined range of a first interrogator, wherein the RFID device is carried by a user. The RFID device can be interrogated to determine a first identifier. Based on the first identifier, an identity of the user can be determined. A projection command can be transmitted to a projection source, wherein the projection command comprises the identity of the user and instructive indicia comprising information about a toy, wherein the toy comprises a second RFID device.

  • Publication number: 20230367434
    Abstract: A touch-capacitive surface system can include a plurality of touch surfaces positioned along a target body. Each of the plurality of touch surfaces can include a capacitive surface. A touch controller electrically can couple to each of the plurality of touch surfaces. The touch controller can detect a touch from a particular touch surface of the plurality of touch surfaces. The system can include a project source and at least one computing device in communication with the touch controller and the projection source. The at least one computing device can generate, via the projection source, projected content at least partially onto the target body in response to the touch controller detecting the touch from the particular touch surface.
