With the increase in popularity of the IPAD's, various game applications have been created for user's entertainment which allows users to interact with the display of the computers. Such games are played by the users with the help of stylus, fingers and other objects.
These interactive devices work on the principle of having either with capacitive sensors or optical sensor are configured for receiving communication from the interactive display of the computer. The simplest way is stylus which can send additional information about the writing angel or applied pressure into the touch screen device. Such devices works on creating variations in patterns in order to identify the toys, thus only predetermined codes may be transferred over the touch screen device.

A game application installed in the processor of the computer can determine the game piece and its orientation, and provide an interaction between game pieces and the touch screen of the computer based on their location and orientation.
Generally, they are identified by a touch screen device's software on the specific conductive pattern.
