It's USB powered. Each face is capable of displaying numbers in 256 million colors. It's got a proximity sensor, a magnetic field sensor, an accelerometer and an ARM microcontroller with temperature sensor. It's a six-sided die for tablet board gaming, and it's beautiful.

Didn't you see the site? It's not for use on a standard board game, it's for digital board games - to add a physical dimension to them. Like the current release of the Steve Jackson/Ian Livingstone "Choose Your Own Adventure" digital games on tablets.

wrong voice actor for the ad but the idea is awesome.
in a day and age where almost all boardgames are replaced with swipes and touchpads... it's a nice thing to have something physical. Just like steering wheels and other game peripherals... Very Happy

would be awesome if it worked with ps4 and a full fledged HD monopoly / hasbro board game collection.
