Augmented Reality and Board Games
Slate has released an article about how augmented reality could change board games. "Augmented reality is the natural step in tabletop gameplay evolution. Like mobile gaming, AR will bridge the gap of needing other players physically present to complete a game and provide relevance in a world centered around our smartphones; however, it could offer a more traditional feel since the game is “happening” right in front of you, in the real world."
