ABSTRACT:
A system for depicting a complete image from a plurality of partial images is provided. A set of one or more physical objects are positioned on at least one side of a display device. Each of the physical objects represents a different discrete portion of a complete image, each discrete portion creating a continuous visual image with a remaining portion of the image. The display device displays the remaining portion of the image as a visual representation on a display screen. At least a portion of the visual representation portrays a visual extension of one or more of the physical objects. The visual representation on the display screen, the visual extensions, and the set of one or more physical objects together define the complete image. A method implemented by the system for providing the complete image is also provided.
