본 실시예에 따른 시스템(100)은, 전자기 방사를 활성 플레이 영역(116)으로 방출하도록 작동하는 전자기 방사의 발원(102)을 구비한다. 시스템(100)은 또한, 활성 플레이 영역(116)에 위치설정된 물품(126)의 역반사성 물질(120)로부터 반사된 후 전자기 방사를 수신하도록 작동하고, 일련의 물품 위치(140)로부터 반사된 전자기 방사를 수신하는 것에 기초한 데이터를 생성하도록 작동하는 감지 장치를 구비한다. 더욱이, 시스템(100)은 감지 장치(104)에 의해 생성된 데이터를 처리하여 일련의 물품 위치(140)가 저장된 제스처와 연관성이 있는지 여부를 결정하고, 일련의 물품 위치(140)가 저장된 제스처와 연관성이 있을 때 제어 신호를 출력하여 효과(108)를 활성화하도록 구성된 컨트롤러를 구비한다. A system in accordance with present embodiments includes a source of electromagnetic radiation that operates to emit electromagnetic radiation into an active playing area. The system also includes a sensing device that operates to receive the electromagnetic radiation after being reflected from a retro-reflective material of an article positioned in the active playing area and operable to generate data based on receiving reflected electromagnetic radiation from a series of article positions. Further, the system includes a controller that operates to process the data generated by the sensing device to determine whether the series of article positions correlate to a stored gesture and output a control signal to actuate an effect when the series of article positions correlate to the stored gesture.
