    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a smart playable flying disc and methods for determining associated motion parameters. The playable device may capture and transmit sensor data including motion data to a computing device. Motion parameters can be determined based on the sensor data. For example, an initial velocity of the playable device can be determined based on a throw duration and a maximum acceleration. Machine learning algorithms can determine updated parameters based on learned parameters. The playable device can include rapid charging circuits to receive power from a remote charger. Sensor data may also be interpreted by the computing device as gestures for interacting with the computing device or for presentation during gameplay. The computing device can capture image data of the playable device and identify the playable device and annotate image data based on the sensor data from the playable device.
