    摘要: A peripheral device for use in video gameplay includes circuitry for reading information stored in memory of toys placed on the peripheral device, and for providing that information to a computer device upon which gameplay is provided. The peripheral device includes a feature for holding a portable computer device, for example a computer tablet, in a hands free manner during gameplay. The feature may be a notch in the peripheral device, and the notch may be in a protuberance extending from a housing forming the peripheral device. In addition, the housing may provide storage for storing a game controller for use with the video game.
