A physical presentation of an objet(ll2, 132, 134, 122) is changed in a system with an object oriented environment (200, 240). The system includes a display (300) for present- ing physical manifestations of ob- jects (374, 378, 330). The system (200, 240) has a first target object (374, 378, 330) containing a first presentation method (222) having a universal interface protocol (264). The first presentation method (222) Image presents a first physical manifestation on the display. This universal proto- col (264) allows the first presentation method to be accessible by other ob- jects capable of communicating us- ing the universal protocol (264, 262). The system (200, 240) also contains a costume object (262) which enables communication with the first target object (272, 274, 266, 268) - e.g., the costume causes the target object to display itself at the costume object's position of the screen (382, 384), in effect displaying the costume object (262) wearing the costume of the tar- get object (272, 274). If the user de- sires that the costume object (262) presents another physical manifesta- tion, the user associates it with another target object (272, 274), which the costume object (262) may also cause to present this other physical manifestation (382, 384, 286) on the display (300).
