Sony has announced an interactive board for board games

Sony will release Project Field, an interactive whiteboard for board card games. The device is designed to “change the approach to card games.”

Project Field is a panel with infrared sensors, backlight and Bluetooth. The board exchanges signals about the position of cards and the actions of players with a tablet or smartphone with a game specially sharpened for the device.

In fact, Project Field is an additional link between the player and the smartphone. The game process looks the same as in a standard card battler, only instead of virtual cards, the player puts real ones on the device. After that, they are displayed on the screen of a tablet or smartphone.

So far, there is only one game for Project Field – Yo-kai Watch. The device is available in Japan, the world release date is not called.
