Single manipulatable physical and virtual game assembly
First Claim
1. An apparatus for game play comprising:
- a base comprising a first planar conductive pattern of a plurality of conductive touch points; and
a programmable electronic device comprising;
a touch screen that registers contact with the conductive touch points and outputs location data for where the conductive touch points contact the touch screen surface; and
an application in communication with the touch screen that interprets the location data to identify the base and that juxtaposes one or more of a computer graphic and an animation with the base to form a single manipulatable object having co-operable physical and virtual components.

Abstract
Apparatuses, systems and methods for game play having a base with a first planar conductive pattern of a plurality of conductive touch points and a programmable electronic device with a touch screen that registers contact with the conductive touch points and outputs location data for where the conductive touch points contact the touch screen surface are disclosed. An application in communication with the touch screen interprets the location data, identifies the base, and, depending on the identity of the base, juxtaposes one or more computer graphics and animations with the base to form a single manipulatable object having co-operable physical and virtual components. A physical object may be movably or spinnably coupled to the base.

19. A method of game play comprising:
-
providing a base comprising a first planar conductive pattern of a plurality of conductive touch points; providing a programmable electronic device comprising a touch screen; placing the first planar conductive pattern in contact with the touch screen; registering the contact between first planar conductive pattern and the touch screen; outputting location data from the touch screen for where the conductive touch points contact the touch screen surface; providing an application in communication with the touch screen that inputs and interprets the location data to identify the base; and juxtaposing one or more of a computer graphic and an animation with the base to form a single manipulatable object having co-operable physical and virtual components. - View Dependent Claims (20)
