Abstract
A method of providing a challenge to a user, the method including receiving a selection of a selected challenge to be presented to the user, the challenge being selected from a challenge repository, and providing the selected challenge to a projecting device. The selected challenge is processed to form a projectable challenge, which is projected onto a projection surface using the projecting device. A user interacts with the projected challenge to complete the challenge, and at least one user response to the challenge is captured by a response capturing device. The captured response is analyzed to determine whether it is a correct response to the challenge, and based on the analysis, feedback is provided to the user regarding the response or regarding a manner of responding to the challenge.
