1. A system, comprising:
a shared display;
at least two wireless transmitters or wireless receivers; and
a host computer in communication with the shared display, wherein, when an object having a wireless receiver or a wireless transmitter that can send signals to or detect signals from one of the at least two wireless transmitters or receivers, the host computer uses relative signal strength between the object and the at least two wireless transmitters or receivers in to determine a location of the object, on condition that the object is near the shared display, the host computer sends a connection request message to the object and, on condition that the object has an interactive application stored therein, the connection request message automatically runs the interactive application on the object to connect the object to the host computer or present a list on the object to be selected on the host computer, and on condition that the object is selected from the list on the host computer, automatically connect the object to the host computer.
