Abstract
A toy construction system comprising a plurality of toy construction elements each comprising coupling means for releasably interconnecting the toy construction elements, one or more marker construction elements comprising such coupling means, configured to interconnect with the toy construction elements, and each having a visual appearance recognizable by an image processing system representing a distinct toy object, and a data processing system comprising a digital processor configured to process a captured image of a toy construction model to detect a position of the composite marker construction element within the captured image, and responsive to the detected position of the composite marker construction element, generate a computer-generated image. Direct or indirect interconnection of two or more of marker construction elements with each other or toy construction elements creates a composite marker construction element representing a combination of said distinct toy objects.
