# Tilt Five

> Tilt Five makes a tabletop augmented-reality system built from lightweight projection glasses, a retroreflective gameboard and a tracked wand. Instead of trying to paint digital objects across an entire room, it concentrates the illusion on the table, where multiple players can see private, stereoscopic views while still seeing one another. The focused design produces an unusually wide near-field view and a social experience, but it also requires a special board, a compatible PC or Android device and software written or adapted for the platform.
