    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for constructing an interactive virtual object in a virtual environment implemented in a computer, wherein the computer comprises one or more input devices and one or more output devices providing a user interface allowing a user to interact with the virtual environment, wherein the virtual environment comprises a first virtual construction element carrying a first interactive behavior and a second virtual construction element not carrying the first interactive behavior, wherein the first and second virtual construction elements are connectable to each other by means of a coupling mechanism to form a combined virtual object, and wherein the first virtual construction element imparts the first interactive behavior to the combined virtual object when the first and second construction elements are connected to each other.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a rendering method for generating an image of an assembling toy formed by coupling a plurality of assembling elements arranged in a virtual space. The rendering method includes placing a virtual camera, which is an origin of a ray of light traveling in the virtual space, in the virtual space; emitting a virtual ray from the virtual camera; and determining a pixel value of a pixel corresponding to the virtual ray among pixels of the image in consideration of characteristic information of a transparent assembling element when the virtual ray hits the transparent assembling element among the plurality of assembling element wherein the characteristic information includes at least a transmittance albedo and a reflection albedo.

    Abstract: An interactive music play system, comprising a plurality of toy elements, an image capturing device, a processing unit and a music rendering device; wherein the image capturing device is configured to capture one or more images of a user-selected subset of said toy elements arranged in a field of view of the image capturing device; wherein the processing unit is configured to: recognise the user-selected subset of toy elements in the one or more captured images; create a musical presentation based on one or more of the recognised toy elements; cause the music rendering device to present the created musical presentation to the user.
