Thesis
Beyond the Board is an AR board game innovating by bridging the virtual and physical worlds together. This theme was further emphasized by collaborating with peers who worked fully virtually during the development. At that point, we had the idea of creating an AR board game, so that players could have the best of both the virtual world, where anything is possible, and the physical world of board games.

The Augmented Reality demo effectively links each tile to its "holographic" character however the concept of the game still need to be integrated.
The digital demo allows people to understand and enjoy the concept of the game without needing the interactive board

Market Strategy
Stage 2: Release AR app and open up preorders for a physical board product run. Expand the characters and offer more boards for more AR games (Chess, Dungeons and Dragons, etc). Eventually get our boards in toy stores and Amazon
Stage 1: Put Digital app on the market with a paid expansion pack and advertising to raise money for Xcode and a better Augmented Reality Engine. Through direct comments, experimental updates, and game modes, get customer feedback and improve the game for AR release as well as grow social media pages to line up potential Beyond the Board buyers.
