Systems and methods for rendering of a virtual content object in an augmented reality environment based on a physical marker are discussed herein. Virtual content objects may be rendered by a display device in an augmented reality environment based on the field of view seen through the display device and a position of a marker (and one or more linkage points associated with the marker) in the real world. When rendered in the augmented reality environment, the virtual content objects may be visualized from any angle, from the exterior or interior of the object, and manipulated in response to user input. Virtual content objects and/or user visualizations of virtual content objects may be shared with other users (local and/or remote), enabling multiple users to potentially build, modify, and/or interact with a virtual content object simultaneously and/or cooperatively.

An arrangement of operating multi-task interactive electronic devices includes at least one processor, a screen module and two or more input modules. The processor executes at least a first application and a second related application with different interactive programs at the same time. The screen module is operatively linked to the processor. The screen module comprises at least a display screen having two or more display areas two or more applications thereon respectively. Two or more input modules are operatively linked to the processor, wherein the applications are able to be simultaneously controlled and operated by the input modules respectively.

A word-forming game and methods to play the game are disclosed. In one implementation, the method includes obtaining a plurality of game pieces amongst which at least one game piece bears a rotatable indicia on a face thereof, wherein the rotatable indicia depicts a different set of one or more letters when viewed from different viewing orientations. The method further includes linearly arranging the game pieces on a gaming surface to form a first word, wherein the first word includes a first set of one or more letters depicted by the rotatable indicia when viewed from a first viewing orientation, and rotating the at least one game piece bearing the rotatable indicia to form a second word different from the first word, wherein the second word includes a second set of one or more letters depicted by the rotatable indicia when viewed from a second viewing orientation.

This invention is a novel word forming board game that uses a unique combination of features that enables and rewards large word formation. In addition, chance is used to make the outcome less predictable and more fun for players of all skill levels. The game apparatus includes a larger number of board spaces, a large number of letter tiles, and chance components (multiplier, bonus word, swap card and swap tiles chance types). The method of play uses a large number of letter tiles per player hand, and the ability to exchange letter tiles at the end of each turn. The basis of the word points is the word length which rewards large word formation. The multiplier chance types amplify the impact of forming large words on the player score, with multiplier values as high as 10 and as low as 10, distributed so lesser skilled players can win more often.

A creative figure board game play and learning kit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a board game plate on which a plurality of unit figures having predetermined shapes is disposed at predetermined intervals to define a main set of figures; and shape piece blocks which are disposed on the board game plate by being rotated, moved, symmetric, and reversed along an outer circumferential portion of at least one of the unit figures, and connected to one another to define a sub-set of figures that divides a part of the main set of figures, in which the shape piece blocks have a single transformable shape piece block which is transformable to correspond to shapes of the remaining shape piece blocks.

A method of playing a board game includes a game board arranged as a grid. The board is set up before play where certain playing squares include first or second indicia such that respective numbered tiles with matching indicia may be randomly placed on the certain playing squares.

The tiles must create one or more linear sequences wherein the sum of the numbered tiles within each linear sequence equals a predetermined value. Points are awarded to the player based at least in part on the number of linear sequences created during the turn. The winner may be the player with the highest total awarded points at the end of the game. Other aspects are also provided.
