An electronic interactive device includes an interaction surface for use with a user borne device. The interaction surface includes a contact detection surface for detecting a device contact event with the interaction surface; a plurality of magnetometers defining a reference coordinate system and a sensing volume proximate to the interaction surface, with each of the magnetometers having a rigid spatial relationship to the other magnetometers; and processing circuitry communicably coupled to at least the contact detection surface and the plurality of magnetometers. The plurality of magnetometers perform magnetic field measurements and provide measurement data to the processing circuitry. The processing circuitry determines at least one of position and/or magnet orientation relative to a longitudinal axis of the user borne device and a distance separating the magnet and/or magnet orientation relative to a longitudinal axis of the user borne device from the interaction surface when the contact event occurs.
