A toy system, the toy system comprising a data processing system and one or more toys, the plurality of toys including at least one reference toy having a visual appearance recognisable by the data processing system in a captured image of a real-world scene including said at least one reference toy, the data processing system comprising an image capturing device, a processing unit, and a display, wherein the data processing system has stored thereon information associated with the at least one reference toy, the information including at least one predetermined reference position defined relative to the at least one reference toy; and wherein the data processing is configured to: capture a sequence of images of a real-world scene, the real-world scene including said at least one reference toy; process the captured images to detect and recognize said at least one reference toy within the real-world scene; retrieve the at least one predetermined reference position from the stored information associated with the recognized at least on reference toy; process the captured images to identify the at least one predetermined reference position within at least a first image of the sequence of captured images; selectively process a sub-image within the first image, the sub-image depicting said identified reference position to selectively detect a user manipulation of the real-world scene at the identified at least one predetermined reference position; responsive to detecting the user manipulation, generate and render computer-generated perceptual information associated with the detected user manipulation.
