The headset has a casing that partially surrounds a display. The casing has an opening configured to receive the user's face.

An integrated processing and projection device suitable for use on a supporting surface includes a processor and a projector designed to provide a display on the supporting surface proximate to the device. Various sensors enable object and gesture detection in a detection area in the display area. Trigger zones are defined in the detection area such that interaction of an object or human limb in the detection zone provides object and zone specific feedback by the integrated processing and projection device. The feedback can be provided in the projection area or may be provided as audible or active feedback to a device having active feedback capabilities.
