1. An interactive system for translating a change to an environment into input data, the system comprising:
- (a) an image display device configured for displaying an image within the environment;
(b) an image capture device configured for capturing image information from the environment; and
(c) a computing platform executing a software application being configured for;
(i) comparing at least a portion of said image as displayed by said image display device and said at least a portion of said image as captured by said image capture device to thereby determine the change to the environment; and
(ii) translating the change into input data.

Abstract
A system capable of detecting changes within an environment in which a known image is displayed. The system includes a computing platform executing a software application being configured for comparing at least a portion of an image captured from the environment to at least a portion of the known image to thereby detect changes in the environment.

14. A method of translating a change to an environment having an image displayed therein into input data, the method comprising:
-
(a) capturing an image of the image displayed within the environment to thereby generate a captured image; and
(b) computationally comparing at least a portion of said captured image to said at least a portion of the image displayed to thereby determine the change to the environment; and
(c) translating the change into input data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
