Handheld display device having processor for rendering display output with real-time virtual transparency and video playback option
First Claim
1. A handheld display device for interacting with printed content and playing associated video, said device comprising:
- an optical sensor for imaging an area of a printed substrate containing the printed content and generating image data;
an opaque touch-sensitive display screen for displaying display output to a user; and
a processor configured for;
monitoring the identity of the substrate and the position of the device relative to the substrate using the image data;
retrieving display data based on the position of the device relative to the substrate;
rendering the display output to the touch-sensitive display screen, said display output being at least partially based on the retrieved display data, said display output including a video playback icon;
interpreting user interaction with the video playback icon via the touch-sensitive display screen;
retrieving video data in response to said user interaction with the video playback icon; and
initiating video playback using the retrieved video data,wherein the opaque touch-sensitive display screen has real-time virtual transparency through the screen to the printed content from a user'"'"'s perspective to provide a virtual window to the printed content.

Abstract
A handheld display device for interacting with printed content and playing associated video. The device includes: an optical sensor for imaging an area of a printed substrate containing the printed content and generating image data; an opaque touch-sensitive display screen for displaying display output to a user; a processor configured for: monitoring the identity of the substrate and the position of the device relative to the substrate using the image data; retrieving display data; rendering the display output to the display screen; interpreting user interaction with a video playback icon via the touch-sensitive display screen; retrieving video data; and initiating video playback. The opaque touch-sensitive display screen has real-time virtual transparency through the screen to the printed content from a user'"'"'s perspective to provide a virtual window to the printed content.

6. An interactive application stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium for execution on a handheld display device having an image sensor, a processor and an opaque touch-sensitive display screen, the interactive application being configured to operatively control the device so as to perform the steps of:
- monitoring the identity of the substrate and the position of the device relative to the substrate using the image data;
retrieving display data based on the position of the device relative to the substrate;
rendering display output to the touch-sensitive display screen, said display output being at least partially based on the retrieved display data, said display output including a video playback icon;
interpreting user interaction with the video playback icon via the touch-sensitive display screen;
retrieving video data in response to said user interaction with the video playback icon; and
initiating video playback using the retrieved video data, wherein the interactive application is configured to operatively control the device such that the opaque touch-sensitive display screen has real-time virtual transparency through the screen to the printed content from a user'"'"'s perspective to provide a virtual window to the printed content. - View Dependent Claims (7)
