1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a body defining a viewing aperture;
an opaque substrate bearing a first image and a second image, said opaque substrate disposed within said body and movable between a first position in which said first image is disposed within said viewing aperture and a second position in which said second image is disposed within said viewing aperture; and
an output generator coupled to said body, said output generator configured to generate a first output associated with said first image when said substrate is disposed in the first position and a second output associated with said second image when said substrate is disposed in the second position.

Abstract
The invention includes a body defining a viewing aperture. An opaque substrate bearing a first image and a second image is disposed within the body and is movable between a first position in which the first image is disposed within the viewing aperture and a second position in which the second image is disposed within the viewing aperture. An output generator is coupled to the body and is configured to generate a first output associated with the first image when the substrate is disposed in the first position and a second output associated with the second image when the substrate is disposed in the second position.

11. A method, comprising:
-
disposing a first image in a viewable position, said first image being disposed on an opaque substrate;
producing a first sensory output associated with said first image;
disposing the first image in a non-viewable position;
disposing a second image in a viewable position, said second image being disposed on the opaque substrate; and
producing a second sensory output associated with the second image. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a body;
a first opaque substrate bearing a first image and coupled to said body for movement between a viewable position in which said first image is viewable and a hidden position in which said first image is not viewable;
a second opaque substrate bearing a second image and coupled to said body for movement between a viewable position in which said second image is viewable and a hidden position in which said second image is not viewable; and
an output generator coupled to said body and configured to generate a first output associated with said first image when said first substrate is disposed in said viewable position and a second output associated with said second image when said second substrate is disposed in said viewable position. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
