1. In a computing environment, a method of providing information associated with physical objects, the method comprising:
- receiving input at an interactive surface, the input comprising a first physical object being placed on the interactive surface;
detecting the first physical object, including detecting one or more features of the physical object; and
displaying one or more callouts on the interactive surface proximate the one or more features of the physical object to which the one or more callouts correspond.

Abstract
Physical objects are placed on an interactive surface. Features of the physical objects are detected, as is position information of the physical objects. Callouts are then presented next to one or more features of the physical objects. Some of the callouts present information related to the features and/or physical objects. Some of the callouts are interactive.

9. A computer system for displaying information about physical objects, the computer system comprising:
-
a processor, a computer memory coupled to the processor, the computer memory comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform the following; receive input at an interactive surface, the input comprising a first physical object being placed on the interactive surface; detect the first physical object, including detecting identifying information about the first physical object; display information about the first physical object on the interactive surface in one or more callouts next to corresponding features of the first physical object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. In a computing environment, a computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by a computing processor, cause a computer system in communication with or including an interactive surface to implement a method that includes the following:
-
receiving input at an interactive surface, the input comprising a first physical object being placed on the interactive surface; detecting one or more position of one or more features of the first physical object; and displaying one or more callouts on the interactive surface proximate the one or more position of the one or more features of the first physical object to which the one or more callouts correspond. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
