First Claim
1. A method for exchanging information in a shared interactive environment, comprising:
- selecting a first physical device in a first live video image wherein the first physical device has information associated with it;
causing the information to be transferred to a second physical device in a second live video image wherein the transfer is brought about by manipulating a visual representation of the information;
wherein the manipulation includes interacting with the first live video image and the second live video image;
wherein the first physical device and the second physical device are part of the shared interactive environment; and
wherein the first physical device and the second physical device are not the same.

24. A shared interactive environment, comprising:
-
a camera system to provide a first live view and second live view, wherein the second live view can be configured to zoom in on a portion of the first live view;
a first graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the camera system and to present the first live view and the second live view, wherein the views can capture a physical device;
a device controller to dynamically control the physical device in response to interaction of a first user with the GUI;
a device tracker coupled to the camera system and to dynamically recognize new physical devices; and
wherein the camera system can be mounted on a mobile, robotic platform. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
