Holographic Arena Technology / Science in Disc Casters | World Anvil

Holographic Arena

This tech is used by the International Disc Caster's Network to make tournaments more interesting for both the players and the spectators by using holograms to make the Disc Casters seem more real.  
"I want to thank you for coming I am sure this tabletop tournament nonsense is not nearly as exciting as your new tech. Speaking of now since the tournament's done let's talk shop shall we?"

Utility

To play Disc Caster in a step up from just tabletop. To use a caster needs to place their deck on the arena, their opponent must do the same. Once both decks have been picked up by the sensor the rest of the system activates. The arena keeps track of scoring and all cards placed on the field.

Access & Availability
Rare since it only exists in special arenas and some arcades.
Complexity
To Aealious and the team of researchers that he worked with projecting holographic images was the easy part with crude animations. The hard part was cleaning all of the animations up and adding sound effects and simulated explosions to give playing Disc Casters that extra excitement. The partnership with Go Down in Games helped a lot in providing the extra artwork and animation as Aealious designed a special memory chip to store all of this information. Since Disc Casters is a vast and complex game this took awhile. Other than the card sensor holographic projector, and the card database with animations, sounds, explosions, and other effects it is not that complicated.
Discovery
Aealious who always loved traditional games wanted to create a battle arena system that would excite other players to play those type of games. His main goal has to make the holographic projection portable but at the moment the bulky standing arena will have to do. This was inspired off several cartoons and science fiction shows and books and the research of scientist wanting to bring holograms into the mainstream. After several trial and error, Aealious was able to create the first-ever holographic game system that can project cards that are placed on a special pad. The invention created a partnership with Igarashi Corporations and Go Down in Games: A Gaming Company spawning the International Disc Caster's Network to help the two cooperate. Now Igarashi Corporations focuses on making the tech and Go Down in Games helps with the art assets of the tech.
