Abstract:
An entertainment device comprises an image receiver operable to receive, from a video camera, images captured therefrom, and display logic for displaying the images captured by the video camera together with one or more selection icons. Each selection icon corresponds to a game object. The entertainment device further comprises an image processor for detecting the presence and position of an augmented reality marker in images received from the camera, a detector for detecting the presence of an augmented reality marker at an image position corresponding to a selection icon for at least a predetermined selection time period, and associating logic, responsive to such a detection, for associating the game object corresponding to the first one of the selection icons with the augmented reality marker, so that the display logic displays the game object so as to move the game object with the detected position of the augmented reality marker.
