Abstract: A method for enhancing tangible content on a physical activity surface is described. In an example implementation, the method includes capturing, using a video capture device of a computing device, a video stream that includes an activity scene of a physical activity surface; detecting in the video stream, using a detector executable on the computing device, a tangible content item on the physical activity surface; recognizing, from the video stream, one or more visually instructive elements in the tangible content item; determining a tangible identifier based on the one or more visually instructive elements in the tangible content item; retrieving a digital content item using the tangible identifier; and providing the digital content item on the computing device.

Abstract: An example method for virtualizing physical objects into a virtual environment includes capturing a video stream of a racing field component, displaying a graphical user interface embodying a virtual game, detecting a placement of a physical vehicle at a starting portion of a channel of the racing field component, identifying one or more characteristics of the physical vehicle at the starting portion, generating a virtual vehicle representation of the physical vehicle using the one or more characteristics of the physical vehicle, and displaying the virtual vehicle representation of the physical vehicle.

Abstract: A tangible object virtualization station including a base capable of stably resting on a surface and a head component unit connected to the base. The head component unit extends upwardly from the base. At an end of the head component opposite the base, the head component comprises a camera situated to capture a downward view of the surface proximate the base, a lighting array that directs light downward toward the surface proximate the base. The tangible object virtualization station further comprises a display interface included in the base. The display interface is configured to hold a display device in an upright position and connect the display device to the camera and the lighting array.
