A method includes acquiring individual assessment data that comprises behavior from player of a construction toy. The construction toy includes at least one sensor to detect an activity of the player with the construction toy. The method further includes determining a goal for the player based on the individual assessment data and a set of group assessment data. The method also includes providing a teaching based on the goal. The method includes permitting the player to play with the construction toy with reduced monitoring or intervention by the processing device during a free play period. The method further includes in response to a determination that free play period is over, prompting the player to perform an activity based on the goal. The method also includes in response to a determination that the player has completed the activity, providing a first reinforcement message to the player.

In an aspect a modular field manipulation apparatus is presented. A modular field manipulation apparatus includes a central field manipulation device. A central field manipulation device includes a first surface having a first field polarity. A central field manipulation device includes a second surface positioned opposite a first surface. A second surface includes a second field polarity. A modular field manipulation apparatus includes a plurality of interconnecting components. Each interconnecting component of a plurality of interconnecting components includes at least a contacting member. At least a contacting member engages with at least a first surface of a central field manipulation device.

[Object] To provide an information processing system and an information processing method capable of controlling content that is to be provided in association with a location in consideration of feelings of persons who are present at the location.

[Solution] Provided is an information processing system including: a communication unit that receives at least information related to a feeling of a user who is present in a predetermined region; and a control unit that controls content that is associated with the predetermined region and is to be provided to the user, on the basis of the feeling of the user who is present in the predetermined region, which is specified on the basis of the information received by the communication unit.

An information processing method is disclosed. In one embodiment, a game space of a positional information game is controlled, a plurality of user terminals executing the positional information game to access the game space based on locations of the user terminals in a real space. Information of human activities regarding regions in the real space is obtained, the regions including at least a first region and a second region neighboring the first region. Whether the first region is unsafe is determined based on the obtained information of human activities. Responsive to the first region being determined as unsafe, a game content accessible at a virtual location in the game space that is associated with the second region is recognized, and the game users are notified of presence of the game content in the virtual location in the game space that is associated with the second region.

At least a contacting member engages with at least a first surface of a central field manipulation device.

Systems, devices and methods are provided. A system comprises a processor circuit and a memory coupled to the processor circuit. The memory comprises machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to receive, from a pressure sensor of an input device of a gaming device, a first pressure parameter value corresponding to a first amount of pressure being applied by a player to the input device at a first input location for a first time duration, determine, based on the first amount of pressure and the first time duration, an emotional of the player. The processor circuit further modifies an operating characteristic of the gaming device based on the emotional state of the player.

Mental state data is collected as a person interacts with a game played on a machine. The mental state data includes facial data, where the facial data includes facial regions or facial landmarks. The mental state data can include physiological data and actigraphy data. The mental state data is analyzed to produce mental state information. Mental state data and/or mental state information can be shared across a social network or a gaming community. The affect of the person interacting with the game can be represented to the social network or gaming community in the form of an avatar. Recommendations based on the affect resulting from the analysis can be made to the person interacting with the game. Mental states are analyzed locally or via a web services. Based on the results of the analysis, the game with which the person is interacting is modified.
