NFC Gaming: a new step to hybrid game

With NFC technology, Centiloc has positioned itself in the development of new board games, a crossover between traditional games and video games. We have designed a game board that integrates an NFC sensor. It is powered wirelessly via a smartphone.
The dice and game pieces are equipped with tags and can be located in real time on screen. The addition of communicating equipment offers an enriched game experience thanks to the new interactions generated between players. This innovation is patented.

Why NFC?

NFC is a worldwide standard also known as Contactless. Wireless and energy-efficient charging of devices. A cheap technology and a solid and perennial start up. Invisible and patented technology that leaves plenty of room for playfulness.

With NFC gaming, nothing is impossible!
