Democratic Chess

Tech Buzz Designer Marco Marcovici is working on a “democratic” chess set where all the pieces are equipped with little cameras, and they can look around the board and discuss strategy with each other, and the player. I love this idea because a) it's so needlessly futuristic and cool b) it's like real-life Wizard Chess from Harry Potter! and c) I don't know how to play chess, so advice from tiny robots could only help.

Yeah, there is more to the technology than cameras, but the cameras is the part I understand.

I think the reason chess pieces did not previously discuss strategy among themselves was not the lack of cameras…
