1. An information handling system comprising: a processor operable to execute instructions to process information; memory interfaced with the processor and operable to store the information; a graphics system interfaced with the processor and memory, the graphics system operable to generate the visual images for presentation at one or more display devices; a capacitive mat display device interfaced with the graphics system and operable to present the visual images, the capacitive mat disposed on a surface and including capacitive sensors operable to detect touches; a totem disposed on the capacitive mat, the totem having a main body and at least one interactive portion, the interactive portion responding to end user manipulation to move relative to the main body; and an input device controller interfaced with the capacitive mat display and operable to detect end user inputs by analyzing movement of the totem interactive portion relative to the totem main body, the input determined based upon the relative position of the interactive portion to the main body wherein the totem further comprises: an inner ring resting on the capacitive mat display device; an outer ring rotationally coupled to the inner ring; and one or more capacitive feet coupled to the outer ring and proximate to the capacitive mat display device, the input device controller detecting the relative position of the outer and inner rings by reference to a detected position of the one or more capacitive feet.
