A method for performing object occlusion is disclosed. The method includes capturing an image of a physical item, determining a location and an orientation of a first virtual item with an augmented reality registration function; generating an augmented reality image, wherein the augmented reality image comprises a rendering of the first virtual item in the image using a first rendering function to depict the location and orientation of the first virtual item in the image and a rendering of a second virtual item in the image with a second rendering function; displaying the augmented reality image, wherein occlusion of the first virtual item by the physical item is shown in the augmented reality image based on occlusion of the first virtual item by the second virtual item wherein the first virtual item depicts a next step in the step-by-step instructions for the assembly.

Disclosed is a magnetic building block, including: a bearing body, magnetic bodies, and a retaining body, the bearing body including a sealing member and a bearing member which forms first cavities with the retaining body, the magnetic bodies being located in the first cavities and attracting adjacent external products, to form different shapes; the retaining body is in contact with the magnetic bodies to secure the same. The bearing body, the magnetic bodies, and the retaining body match for use, and the magnetic bodies are relatively fixed in an accommodation cavity through the retaining body and can be magnetically connected to the external products, such that when stacking multiple magnetic building block, different magnetic building blocks can be spliced in different surfaces and further be spliced in a suspension manner, thereby reducing a process of stacking multiple building blocks, providing convenience, and further realizing diversified splicing and meeting users' requirements.

A connected block play system made up of a series of block members, a backer and a flap. The block members include a first-end block member, a second-end block member and a plurality of block members therebetween. Each of the series of block members have substantially the same shape and are positioned adjacent one another in a row in an open orientation. The backer extends from the first-end block member to the second-end block member, and the bottom wall of each block member in the series is connected to the backer. The flap extends from the first-end block member and assists in connecting the second-end block member to the first-end block member.

A toy building block is comprised of a slotted interlocking brick that contains a slot for receiving planar material. The slotted toy building block may be provided in a kit with the planar material to be received within the slot. The slotted toy building block and planar material may also be provided in a kit that is contained within a package that includes one or more planar surfaces, with the planar material being removed from the one or more planar surfaces. The building block kit may also include one or more other toy building blocks that comprise interlocking bricks that are configured for attachment to a waste item.

A cost effective, structural building set, suitable as a toy, uses post connectors (10) comprised of a post (12) with attached disks (14), or similar devices that insert into cutouts (31) in geometric shaped component parts (30, 80, 180). More than one component part can be connected to the same post connector, and such component parts can rotate relative to the post axis. The connector design allows construction of stable structures of many sizes, shapes, and types, and readily facilitates hinging between different sections of such assembled structures.

A construction teaching set for education. A polyhedral block body has first and second divided members and provided by engaging and assembling of the first and second divided members. Each of the first and second divided members has a rectangular plane, a plurality of rectangular inclined surfaces adjoining sides of the rectangular plane, triangular connectors formed between the adjacent rectangular inclined surfaces, and a plurality of vertical skirts extending from the plurality of rectangular inclined surfaces and the triangular connectors. A connection bar has a protruding fastener at one end or both ends to be selectively connected to one among a first fastening hole passing through the rectangular plane, second fastening holes passing through the plurality of rectangular inclined surfaces, and third fastening holes formed in a pair of the vertical skirts adjoining each other. A coupling unit generates coupling force for the first and second divided members.
