Advanced RFID Scrabble System to be unveiled at Prague Mind Sports Festival

Prague Mind Sports Festival will take place from 1 December – 4 December, 2012. Hundreds of players from across the globe will compete for large prize pools in most popular mind sports!

Mind sports always aims at giving the best out of technology! Now a new Advanced RFID Scrabble system is set to be unveiled at the festival!

“Our goal was to help bring popular Scrabble tournaments to life, whilst reaching a wider audience by capturing tournament play in a technologically advanced and engaging manner,” explains Dave Brannan, CEO, Mind Sports (International) and Living it Loving it Ltd.

He also added that, “This allows us to broadcast Scrabble in all its glory, interacting with viewers that share a passion for this iconic game and mind sports as a whole across the world.”

The Scrabble board consists of nine RFID circuit boards that house 225 RFID antennas, which read each individual Scrabble square. Each Scrabble letter tile has its own uniquely identifiable RFID tag embedded within (100 in total), with an RFID circuit board enclosed in each of the players tile racks to ensure that all information is captured and showcased to the online viewers.

The board’s turntable unit has a carbon fibre finish and integrated RGB controlled LED lighting system in order to bring additional style and complete customization to the table! The cost of this board is 32,040 dollars! Ah, that is expensive right?
