Abstract: An augmented reality system, used to identify toys and trigger video and graphics, includes an input device, one or more toy markers, a computer database, and a controller. Both the input device and the database are coupled to a network. The input device is configured to capture images and playback video, while the toy target marker is configured for image capture and video playback. The controller is coupled to the input device for manipulation of video and graphics such that when one or more toys contained in a real world environment, are manipulated, the toys are augmented, using computer-generated sensory input and a manipulated toy image is created.
