Activity scene detection, display, and enhancement implementations are described. In an example implementation, a method includes displaying an animated character on a display of a computing device, detecting a tangible interface object on a physical activity scene proximate to the computing device, rendering a virtual interface object based on the tangible interface object, determining an interaction routine between the animated character and the virtual interface object, and executing the animation routine to animate on the display, an interaction between the animated character and the virtual interface object.
