Abstract: A dynamic panel system for user interaction through visual displays, touchscreens, and selectable buttons is provided. The dynamic panel system may be part of an interactive system that include push buttons having an image conduit to transmit images from an image generation or display element to a visible area of the button. The push button assemblies may contain liquid ingresses configured to direct liquids away from vulnerable components and into a liquid retention cavity, or may be configured such that liquid is returned to a top panel surface of the dynamic panel system. The push button assemblies may further be configured such that liquid is prevented from entering into the assembly at all. The components may be provided in a modular configuration, allowing for easy assembly, replacement, repair, and cleaning.

Abstract: A dynamic button assembly for use in interactive display devices, such as gaming, amusement, or vending machines. The dynamic button assembly may be configured in such a way that the button sides are illuminated. The dynamic button assembly may be further configured in a way that allows images to be projected into the top portion of the button that are visible to a user without causing image distortion. The configuration of the dynamic button assembly allows the underlying touch sensitive screen and display panel to extend continuously underneath the button assembly. Conductive inserts in the dynamic button assembly allow the machine to which the button is attached to identify the placement and functionality of the button. The button assembly may be configured as a multi-directional joystick or be configured to register button rotation as a rotational controller.
