Abstract
A computer enhanced play set. Computer enhanced play set incorporates a structure and display screen images retrieved from a CD-ROM, Internet, or other source. Structure and display screen images and/or sounds portray various play set scenes or themes. Movements within the play set may be tracked with sensors. Movement data is provided to computer data inputs of a computer system. Based on movement data, different images, scenes, or scripts may be generated. Users interact with the attached structure and display screen images. User interaction is realized based on the configuration and content of structure and images in display screen. Interaction with the enhanced computer play set may occur between a user and display screen, between a figure and display screen, between a user and structure, between a figure or object and structure, between a user and both structure and display screen, and between a figure or object and both structure and display screen. In addition, actual external human activities may be represented within computer enhanced play set, and users may indirectly interact with human activities through the computer.
