Abstract: An approach is provided for a digital collectible platform. The platform or system includes a physical tag configured with a machine readable code associated with an object (e.g., a collectible object). The platform also includes a code reader configured to read the machine readable code from the physical tag to determine an object identifier associated with the object. The platform further includes a processor configured to compute a dynamic value metric based on attribute data records associated with the object identifier. The dynamic value metric is updated based on automatic monitoring of the attribute data to determine that a change to the attribute data has occurred. The platform also includes an application configured to present a user interface displaying a digital representation of the object comprising the dynamic value metric.

Abstract: An approach is provided for trading card platform. The approach involves, for example, initiating a reading of a machine readable code from a trading card to determine a card identifier. The approach also involves querying for one or more attribute data records associated with the trading card based on the card identifier. The approach further involves computing a value metric based on the one or more attribute data records and presenting a user interface displaying a digital representation of the trading card, the one or more sponsorship data records, the value metric, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: An interactive toy having a housing in the shape of a videogame character and equipped with electronic components including a sensor to detect the toy's orientation and position relative to a gaming zone, and to generate a first signal indicative of the position or orientation. The toy is equipped with a processing engine to receive the first signal and cause a transceiver to transmit a second signal indicative of the orientation or position, and a feedback component to provide an audible sound responsive to the occurrence of a videogame event. The transceiver receives a third signal from the gaming console responsive to a second event occurring in the videogame. The processing engine causes the feedback component to generate an audible sound indicative of an effect of the second event on the videogame character associated with the toy.

Abstract: An interposer with a contact well, a layer that isolates one side of the interposer from the other side, for isolations of off gasses, and an optional elastomeric pad and a hard stop layer. Included is a method of making the interposer.
