The system of the dot patterns seems to be Optical Identification (OID), and multiple versions exist:

The Tiptoi hardware has been analyzed before by multiple people, and there are quite some resources online which give information on how it works.
This page contains information on the encoding of the dot patterns: github.com/entropia/tip...

Another toy that uses a similar system are the Vtech Magi books.

The system of using small patterns looks similar to the system the Tiptoi books use.

When looking really close at the barcodes they contain a pattern of very tiny dots.

The scanner can scan the barcodes of the mini's but it does not really scan the actual barcode. The barcodes for all minis are the same.

The scanner is made by the same company that created the AH soundbox hardware.

Albert Heijn (AH) has another cool piece of hardware in its newest promotion "Mini winkeltje". They created a working mini handscanner which can scan the small mini products which are part of the promotion.

Is the release party going to be on the 8th or on the 9th? The schedule on the Milliway page shows the 9th:

(I am trying to make sure I can get my hands on one of those cups, the CTF starts at 18:00 and my own talk is at 20:00 on the 8th 😁)
