Provided is a system that includes an interactive casing and a GR device. The interactive casing receives a first signal based on activation of a masked electrical switch by release of a magnetic assertion when a lid member of an interactive casing is disengaged from a base member of the interactive casing. A first system state of the interactive casing is converted to a second system state. Audio-visual feedback is generated and a second signal is communicated to the GR device based on the conversion. Based on the received second signal, a first device state of the GR device is converted to a second device state. Power levels of a first power storage device of the interactive casing and a second power storage device of the GR device are maintained during the first system state and the first device state, respectively.

Managing states of a gesture recognition device and an interactive casing

Provided is a gesture-recognition (GR) device that includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a controller. The circuit board has an aspect ratio exceeding a threshold value that corresponds to at least a 70 percent difference between length and width of the PCB. The PCB includes a first unit and a second unit. The first unit corresponds to a base unit to be grasped by hand of a user. The second unit corresponds to an elongate unit that extends outward from the first unit. The second unit is characterized by a minimal wand form factor. A rigid strength of the second unit is based on at least a shape of an outer shell and a structural attribute of the second unit. The controller controls illumination of a plurality of light sources mounted on the second unit of the circuit board based on assertion signals.
