A system and method for uniquely identifying physical trading cards and/or incorporating trading card game items in a video game is provided. In certain implementations, a unique code that identifies a trading card may be obtained. A graphical representation of the unique code may be generated based on a graphical coding scheme. The graphical representation of the unique code may comprise at least a part of: (1) a depiction of a game item that is usable in the video game; or (2) a border of the trading card. Content associated with the depiction of the game item may be obtained. The trading card may be generated based on the content associated with the depiction of the game item and the graphical representation of the unique code such that the generated trading card depicts the game item and the graphical representation of the unique code.

An interactive environment image may be projected onto one or more surfaces, and interaction with the projected environment image may be detected within a three-dimensional space over the one or more surfaces. The interactive environment image may be a three dimensional image, or it may be two dimensional. An image is projected onto a surface to provide a visual representation of a virtual space including one or more of the virtual objects, which may be spatially positioned. User interaction with the projected visualized representation of the virtual space may be detected and, in response to user interaction, the projected visualized representation may be changed.

An automatic playing card shuffler system including an automatic playing card shuffler and deck of modified playing cards. The modifications relate to asymmetrical information on each card face, back and/or side for identifying playing card orientation. The asymmetrical information is discernable by one or more image-capturing and/or sensors associated with the automatic playing card shuffler. Accordingly, the orientation of the playing cards may be monitored by the automatic playing card shuffler. The orientation data can be analyzed by a processor of the automatic playing card shuffler to determine unusual orientation patterns indicative of advantage play or cheats. Another version utilizes two distinct marks to identify important cards and less important cards.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of computer visual detection processing, and provides a method for guiding users to restore Rubik's cubes. The method comprises step 1, acquiring arrangement information of colored blocks of the Rubik's cube; step 2, displaying restoration process of the Rubik's cube.
