Abstract: A physical doll including active electronic data processing capabilities which provide supplementary visual effects to a user via a wireless connection to augmented reality glasses worn by the user. A virtual version of the doll is seen by the user superimposed over the user's current physical environment. The physical doll may be comparable in size to a typical doll, whereas the virtual version of the doll may have the visual appearance of a fully-grown person. The augmented reality features can be initiated by physically placing the doll onto a dock or by other means. The active electronic data processing capabilities can be included in the doll, the dock, both the doll and the dock, or distributed between the doll and the dock. The active electronic data processing capabilities can also include video game-playing and artificial intelligence, and the virtual version of the doll may play video games with the user.
