Telepresence Chessboard                                                    Sponsored by: Boeing



The objective of this project was to implement a physical chess board that allows the user to play a game of chess with a remote, human opponent, while the two players are not in the same location. A physical board has mechanical components that move pieces to simulate the moves of the remote player. To save costs on prototyping, the second physical board will be simulated by a mobile application and the two will be connected through WiFi. The solution will provide a cost effective way to connect chess players in any part of the world.
