Computer games still don't have the shared experience of gathering around the table with a few beers. Board games still have their place.

- kibwen 4y agoThe problem is finding a way to inject a digital experience without completely obliterating that feeling of analog togetherness. VR headsets, even with AR passthrough modes, are still too clunky, uncomfortable, and expensive. Meanwhile, the most popular way of achieving AR in practice is to use one's phone, but having everyone stare at their phone during a whole event feels almost as alienating as being physically isolated in the first place, because we're primed to think of our phones as tools for physical isolation.

- morelisp 4y agoTiltFive has some very nice demos but it's still several years away from being on par with Tabletop Simulator in terms of remote presence and fluidity of play in any boardgame not specifically designed for it.
