Would suggest using two cameras for stereo photogrammetry. Using mini-projector to highlight clues would also be cool. I see a micro-projector with two cameras just 10 cm apart on a single tripod. With stereo the tripod does not need to be that big for reliable detection.

At that point why bother with a physical board? There are tons of free chess apps that will happily run on a tablet or PC with out all this faffing about.

  It’s way more fun to play board games in real life than on apps; trying to combine the best of software with the best of physical games.

    Sounds more like the worst of both ... have to set up all those connections, power, still need a PC, but lacking the convenience.

Ooo cool idea! Have you seen Tilt Five? It’s an AR headset that operates off a similar concept. Instead of trying to figure out the passthrough optics they put projectors in the glasses that reflect back at the viewer. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tiltfive/holographic-tabletop-gaming https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tiltfive/holographic-ta...

  Having to wear bulky glasses would ruin boardgames for me. But I see your point.
