The two objects in the demo are a TV and a jukebox.

The Qualcomm website has the following description on their website:

"Qualcomm Inc. and Sesame Workshop, the producer behind Sesame Street, have joined forces to explore augmented reality experiences for children that encourage learning and imagination. A longtime advocate of embracing cutting-edge technologies to enrich children’s early learning experiences, Sesame Workshop teamed with Qualcomm to create a prototype playset that brings physical toys to life."
