Abstract: A sensory integration therapy system and method in the treatment of developmental, emotional, psychiatric, and physical disabilities is provided. The system includes an image generator for creating or projecting an artistic image, optionally, a display medium for displaying the artistic image, and one or more illumination energy devices for flooding a field of view in front of the artistic image with illumination energy and an image sensor for detecting the illumination energy. The system includes a computer vision engine for detecting the user(s) in front of the artistic image and segmenting the user(s) and a background, thereby providing markerless or markered motion capture, a computer interaction engine for inserting an abstraction related to the user(s) and/or the background, and a computer rendering engine for modifying the artistic image in response to the presence and/or motion of the user(s), providing user interaction with the artistic image in a virtual environment.

Abstract: A mating closure system includes a first closure element and a second closure element, where at least one of the closure elements includes a cut-out opening. Preferably both closure elements include matching cut-out openings. The cut-out opening may be formed in a variety of shapes, but an arc or elongated oval is preferred. The first closure element is placed adjacent an opening of a bag. The second closure element is displaced from the opening, such that when the bag portion adjacent the opening is folded down the first and second closure elements mate with the cut-out openings substantially aligning to form a handle with a resulting notch for accommodating a user's fingers.
