Strategize, battle, and play your favorite video games, board games, or tabletop RPGs — now with mind-blowing 3D graphics that mix with your surroundings, right on your table. Tilt Five® is the first and only augmented reality (AR) system that uses an innovative projection technology to connect you and your friends to the games you love – in-person or online! The Tilt Five® system includes glasses that connect to a compute device you already own (like a Windows PC or Android phone) which is where your video games and apps already live! We support games where you currently buy them like Steam or GooglePlay. The Gameboard coated with a ‘retroreflector’ (millions of microscopic glass spheres) reflects the light from the T5 Glasses back to your eyes creating a fully stereoscopic image. You can direct, interact, and ‘touch’ the holograms using the wand controller and even your hands. It’s time to bring your games to holographic life!
