A modular playing block system is provided. The block system comprises at least one storage container. The at least one storage container is has a hole. The block system also comprises a plurality of connectors, wherein each of the plurality of connectors is inserted in a hole of the plurality of holes to form different arrangements, and each of the plurality of connectors act as a support for the arrangements.

A construction kit is disclosed. The kit includes a plurality of connector hubs, links and connectors. A connector may be removably connected to a connector hub via a link. A link may be removably connected to a connector hub. Each link is configured such that a linking distance of the link, which is defined as the distance between a link face of the link and a vertex of the connector hub to which it is connected in use, is or remains substantially constant irrespective of an angular position of the link relative to the connector hub. Each link defines a linking axis which intersects a vertex of the connector hub to which the link is connected, in use. The kit may also include other components, such as couplings permitting connectors to be attached to each other, as well as integrated hub-and-link components and integrated connector-and-link components.

A bracket for modular luminaire includes a polyhedral module and a connector connected to the polyhedral module. The polyhedral module is a polyhedron provided with a cavity therein, and each surface of the polyhedron is provided with a stepped through-hole connected to the cavity, thereby forming a first annular protrusion at a junction of the stepped through-hole and the cavity. The connector includes a connector body having a cylindrical shape. On an outer periphery of the connector body, a second annular protrusion, a third annular protrusion, a fourth annular protrusion, and a fifth annular protrusion protrude outwards in a radial direction and are spaced apart from each other, and formed successively from a left end portion to a right end portion of the connector body. A left end of the connector is inserted into the stepped through-hole of the polyhedral module.

Systems and methods which provide for interactive haptic proxies for hand-graspable virtual reality (VR) objects using reconfigurable artifacts and facilitated through use of a haptic reconfigurable artifact toolkit are described. Embodiments provide a haptic reconfigurable artifact toolkit including a set of reconfigurable artifacts for use in forming reconfigurable artifact-based haptic proxies, a set of haptic hardware components for use with respect to reconfigurable artifact-based haptic proxies, and a haptic reconfigurable artifact software platform configured to facilitate generation of reconfigurable artifact-based haptic proxies using items of the set of reconfigurable artifacts and the set of haptic hardware components. Reconfigurable artifacts may be shaped to form reconfigurable artifact-based haptic proxies covering a wide range of hand-grasp postures.
