1. An interactive video display system, comprising:
- a light source configured to deliver a pattern of invisible light to a physical object occupying a three-dimensional space;
a camera configured to image the three-dimensional space and detect invisible light scattered by the physical object;
a computing device configured to;
analyze information generated by the camera in response to the detection of the invisible light scattered by the physical object,map the position of the physical object within the three-dimensional space based on the analyzed information, andgenerate a responsive image based on the mapped position of the physical object, the responsive image including a virtual object, the virtual object being responsive to an interaction with the physical object; and
a display configured to present the responsive image.

Abstract
An interactive video display system allows a physical object to interact with a virtual object. A light source delivers a pattern of invisible light to a three-dimensional space occupied by the physical object. A camera detects invisible light scattered by the physical object. A computer system analyzes information generated by the camera, maps the position of the physical object in the three-dimensional space, and generates a responsive image that includes the virtual object. A display presents the responsive image.

11. A method for providing an interactive display system, the method comprising:
-
delivering a pattern of invisible light to a physical object occupying a three-dimensional space; detecting the invisible light scattered by the physical object, wherein the detection of the invisible light scattered by the physical object occurs at a camera imaging the three-dimensional space; analyzing the information generated by the camera in response to the detection of the invisible light scattered by the physical object; mapping the position of the physical object within the three-dimensional space based on the analyzed information; generating a responsive image based on the mapped position of the physical object, the responsive image including a virtual object, the virtual object being responsive to an interaction with the physical object; and presenting the responsive image. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
