The invention concerns a play set having a play module with a play element and a base equipped with an electronic board having a communicator. The invention also includes an electronic reader for connection to a terminal allowing access to at least one computer platform providing at least one service. The electronic reader is arranged to connect the play module to the terminal by interaction with the communicator of the electronic board, in order to be able to use a function offered by the play element in the service provided by the computer platform. The play module further has a spherical matrix in which the play element and the base are enclosed, the spherical matrix allowing the play module to be used as a play ball.

A video game controller can automatically operate as a video game controller with audio capability and a video game controller without audio capability based upon a signal received via a switch in communication with an audio jack of the video game controller when a headset is coupled to the audio jack. Connection of the headset to the controller automatically causes video game audio to be communicated from the video game console to the headset via the controller. The video game audio is communicated at a default volume level to the headset upon coupling of the headset to the video game controller. The volume level of the audio communicated to the headset can be adjustable up or down via a directional pad of the video game controller while an audio control button on the video game controller is pressed.

A controller for receiving input from a user includes: a memory having at least one set of profile data stored therein; a communication unit operating to transmit and receive signals to and from at least one of a game console and a game server; and a control unit operating to control the controller based on the at least one profile data set. The communication unit operates to transmit a list of one or more profile IDs corresponding to the at least one profile data set to the at least one game console and game server. The communication unit receives a selected profile ID, from among the one or more profile IDs, selected by the user from the at least one game console and game server. The control unit reads a profile data set corresponding to the received, selected profile ID, which is stored in the memory. The control unit controls operations of at least one of the controller with respect to the at least one game console and game server in accordance with the profile data.

An information processing apparatus including a control section to generate a control signal that controls an operation of a tactile feedback apparatus including a tactile feedback section. The control section changes control on the tactile feedback apparatus on the basis of a type of the tactile feedback section which is recognized by the control section.

Described herein are, among other things, techniques, devices, and systems for streaming pixel data from a host computer to a wireless display device with low latency. In some embodiments, a user mode driver is executed in user mode of the host computer to configure a wireless network interface controller of the host computer to operate in a low latency manner. The display device may use a Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithm to reconstruct a frame from the data packets it receives from the host computer. Also disclosed are techniques for scrambling the transmission of a series of data packets using different antenna configurations, as well as setting a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) rate based at least in part on the amount of pixel data to be transmitted to the display device. The display device may comprise a head-mounted display (HMD) that renders virtual reality (VR) game imagery.
