An entertainment imagery system including a structure that incorporates a display and a sensor that operates to detect activity. The display includes an electronic ink system that operates to provide animation on the display via transitioning electronic ink particles within the electronic ink system. A controller of the entertainment imagery system operates to control the electronic ink system to provide the animation in coordination with the activity detected by the sensor. L'invention concerne un système d'imagerie de divertissement comprenant une structure qui incorpore un afficheur et un capteur qui assure la détection d'une activité. L'afficheur comprend un système à encre électronique qui assure la fourniture d'une animation sur l'afficheur par la transition de particules d'encre électronique au sein du système à encre électronique. Un dispositif de commande du système d'imagerie de divertissement assure la commande du système à encre électronique pour fournir l'animation en coordination avec l'activité détectée par le capteur.
