Abstract
The present invention relates to a system (1) comprising a controllable device (10) for executing a program; and a carrier (30) having a surface comprising a plurality of surface markings (34, 36), each marking being located over a RF tag embedded in the carrier, each RF tag comprising a unique identification code, wherein the program, when executed on the controllable device, is adapted to generate a plurality of selectable options, each of said options being selectable by one of the unique identification codes. In an embodiment, the system further comprises an RF reader (20) for communicating said identification codes to the controllable device (10), wherein the controllable device (10) is arranged to interpret each identification code as an input signal for said program. Such a system may be controlled by means of the carrier (30), thus obviating the need for button-based remote controllers. This is particularly useful in gaming applications.
