Book club knows how important the family table or work area is.
Called the place of work and communal gathering. So will CastAR's system become the new apple as it is made of a pair of glasses and a surface interchangeable parts. The frames of the glasses are fitted with two micro-projectors - one for each eye. It may have taken 36 years but the iconic holographic chess game from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope just took a step closer to reality thanks to a pair of augmented and virtual reality specs. 

The castAR system uses a pair of glasses fitted with a micro-projector on each lens that beams images in 3D onto a specially-designed flat surface. These images can then be moved and interacted with using a remote control wand. Holographic chess become a reality? Projector glasses beam games on to a table that are controlled using a 'wand'. The castAR system uses glasses fitted with projectors on each lens. Micro-projectors receive a video stream via a HDMI connection. These images are beamed onto a specially-designed retro-reflective sheet Players move and interact with the images using a remote control wand. The castAR system uses a pair of glasses, pictured, fitted with a projector on each lens. Each micro-projector receives a video stream via a HDMI connection and beams these images in 3D onto retro-reflective sheeting. The images can then be moved and interacted with using a remote control wand glide it across earth on a surf.

Holochess was a game played in Star Wars. This scene shows the game being played, right. It used holograms of playing pieces, such as aliens here is shopping order enjoy stratification of the weather. The rules differed from regular chess, as it was played on a circular board, rather than square. Each projector beams a perspective view of a stereoscopic 3D image onto the retro-reflective surface. A tiny camera, fitted between the projectors, scans for infrared identification markers placed on this surface. 
The camera uses these markers to precisely track a player's head position and orientation in the physical world.The so-called Magic Wand can be used as a joystick and a '3D input device.' The handheld part of the wand has buttons, a trigger, and a thumb stick. The wand also tracks its own movement in 3D space, allowing players to interact with virtual environments.
A Kickstarter project has now launched in the hope of raising $400,000 (£250,000) to fund production of this system.  'CastAR is a projected augmented reality system that displays holographic-like 3D projections right in front of you,' said the system's Washington-based maker Technical Illusions.  A New Hope sparked our imaginations of what might be possible in the future by showing R2-D2 and Chewbacca playing a holographic chess-style game.'It has taken years for this technological dream to come to reality, but with castAR, that reality can be yours.

The camera uses these markers to precisely track a player's head position and orientation in the physical world. Software can then adjust how the holographic scene should appear. CastAR's system consists of a pair of glasses and a specially-designed viewing surface.

The so-called Magic Wand can be used as a joystick and a '3D input device.' The handheld part of the wand has buttons, a trigger, and a thumb stick. The wand also tracks its own movement in 3D space, allowing players to interact with virtual environments. The  project runs until 14 November and has already raised more than half the target amount. According to the pledge information, a Magic Wand costs $60 (£38) and a starter pack that includes the glasses and the surface is $189 (£118).
