Human-computer interface device and system

This is a physical tool you hold and use to touch a computer screen. It's designed so you can see the screen's display right through the part you're touching, allowing you to interact with the system while still seeing the content beneath your finger or tool. The claims specifically describe this tool as being transparent and potentially shaped like a game piece or character.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread mobile AR and computer vision could easily recognize specific physical objects on a screen. The transparent, shaped gamepiece could now be identified by the system's camera, enabling richer interactions.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom shaped transparent material
