Abstract

The invention is directed toward a figurine that utilizes wireless communication to harness computing power of an external computer. The figurine may capture visual or audible input and wirelessly transfer the input to the external computer, either directly or via a network. The external computer processes the input, generates output, and transfers the output to the figurine. The output can then be presented to a child as though the figurine processed and generated the output directly.
