Abstract
An information carrier object is provided for providing information via a touch-sensitive interface of a computing device. The information carrier object includes a substrate supporting a planar region on which a plurality of touchpoints is defined. A first subset of the touchpoints are data-encoding touchpoints arranged in a circular geometric configuration in which a position of each touchpoint conveys encoded data and a second subset of the touchpoints are reference touchpoints in relation to which data-encoding touchpoints are positioned. A method and system are provided for retrieving information from an information carrier object applied to a touch-sensitive interface.
