do it yourself
1. Players will be requested to position 3 to 4 GAME PIECES atop a platform.
2. As they place these pieces on the board, the HOLOGRAPHIC GAME ENVIRONMENT
will procedurally generate in real time on the display

physical game piece design
The game pieces will be crafted of metal, stone and glass and, in some cases, self illuminated.
Each piece will represent a basic geometric form and possess a weight and quality that invites the player into the tactile experience.
