The present solution is directed to systems and methods for setting motion vector (MV) for a self-propelled toy by hand-held remote controller (RC). The method feature is that (i) the vector of a control action made by the user with the RC, (ii) the vector of the desired motion for the selected toy and (iii) the vector displayed by light indicator at the selected toy, all the three, or at least two of them, have coincided direction and proportional value. The desired vector is being set while the RC is pointed at the selected toy. If pointing is being made by invisible light, then the pointed toy should be indicated by its own means. One RC may be used for controlling arbitrary number of devices consequently. Otherwise a number of toys may be grouped, and the same MV may be given to all of them at once.

A robotic system is integrated with one or more mobile computing devices. Physical configurations of individual components of the system in physical space, or agents, under control of a user or users, are duplicated in a representation in virtual space. Some degree of real-time parity is maintained between the physical and virtual spaces, so as to implement a virtual environment that mirrors the physical one. Events occurring within one environment can directly influence and bear consequence on the course of events occurring within the other environment. Elements of virtual space thereby become truly interdependent and unified on a peer footing with elements in physical space. In at least one embodiment, the system of the present invention is implemented as an application in entertainment, such as the manifestation of a video game in physical space.
