ABSTRACT
Chess is a traditional board game that is still popular. Several works have been done to make its gaming experience richer using augmented reality technology. But the proposed user interactions to move the chess pieces are still unfamiliar and not appealing to chess players. To answer this issue, we propose ART-Chess, a tangible augmented reality chess on tabletop. Using a camera-aware tabletop, the recognition of markers is made easier, which allows a human player to use real chess pieces. The game is augmented, thanks to an AR headset, with 3D virtual chess pieces.
