An entertainment system comprises a remotely controlled toy 200 having a video camera operable to capture video images of a real environment and an entertainment device 100 operable to communicate using a data communications link 225 with the remotely controlled toy 200. The device 100 comprises a transmitter operable to transmit control data to the toy 200 relating to the control of the toy 200, a receiver operable to receive video images captured by the video camera of the toy 200, a detector operable to detect a real environment feature within the real environment, a processor operable to generate a virtual image feature in dependence upon the detected real environment feature, and a display operable to generate an augmented reality combined display of the captured images and the virtual image feature such that the virtual image feature is arranged with respect to the video images so as to correspond to the position of the real environment feature within the real environment. The real environment feature may be a fractal pattern placed by the user on an object and detected from the captured images or it may be a RFID tag or transponder detected by the system. In other embodiments, the position of the toy 200 within the real environment is detected and a virtual image feature is derived from this position and this is displayed at a predetermined position on the display. |
