A system and an accompanying method for directing the movement of an object on an interactive surface (101) through a defined path (1, 2, 3) are provided. The system includes an object embedded with a unique identification code (UID) , a movement module, and a distinct pattern of capacitive tabs near the surface of the object that makes contact with the interactive surface (101), an interactive surface (101) configured to recognize the UID, location and orientation information of an object placed on the interactive surface (101), and a processor operatively linked to the interactive surface (101) and configured to direct, track and correct the movement of the object along a defined path (1, 2, 3) on the interactive surface (101) by tracking the UID, location and orientation of the object continuously and throughout the movement. A centralized control mode is applied, which makes the structure of the electronic hardware within the moving object substantially simplified, which leads to a decreased manufacturing cost, and, from an aesthetic point of view, the logic clearer and easily understood. |
