Abstract: A tangible object virtualization station including a base capable of stably resting on a surface and a head component unit connected to the base. The head component unit extends upwardly from the base. At an end of the head component opposite the base, the head component comprises a camera situated to capture a downward view of the surface proximate the base, a lighting array that directs light downward toward the surface proximate the base. The tangible object virtualization station further comprises a display interface included in the base. The display interface is configured to hold a display device in an upright position and connect the display device to the camera and the lighting array.

Abstract: A display positioning system is described. In an example implementation, the display positioning system includes an adapter adapted to redirect a field of view of a video capture device of a computing device; and a stand adapted to situate on a surface, the stand including one or more legs that are adjustable to modify a distance between the video capture device of the computing device and the surface when the computing device is placed on the stand to adjust the field of view of the video capture device.

Abstract: Various implementations for detection and visualization of a formation of a tangible interface object include a method that includes capturing a video stream that includes an activity object and a formation of a tangible interface object, identifying the activity object, determining a virtual object based on the identity of the activity object, displaying a graphical user interface embodying a virtual scene and including the virtual object, detecting a formation of the tangible interface object, generating a virtualization based on the formation of the tangible interface object, and updating the graphical user interface to include the visualization.

Abstract: A display positioning system including a stand assembly is described. In an example implementation, the stand assembly includes a base structure including one or more foldable base components that are detachably assembleable to form the base structure; and one or more foldable device supporting panels detachably coupleable to the base structure, a device supporting panel from the one or more foldable device supporting panels including a device slot adapted to receive a computing device.

Abstract: Various implementations for virtualization of tangible object components include a method that includes capturing a video stream a video stream of a physical activity scene, the video stream including a first tangible interface object and a second tangible interface object positioned on the physical activity scene, identifying a combined position of the first tangible interface object relative to the second tangible interface object, determining a virtual object represented by the combined position of the first tangible interface object relative to the second tangible interface object, and displaying a graphical user interface embodying a virtual scene, the virtual scene including the virtual object.
