"When a DROPMIX Card is placed on a Mix Slot, the electronic DROPMIX Board immediately starts playing the corresponding part of the song (bass, beat, loop or vocals) noted on the card. The board reads up to five DROPMIX Cards at time, using NFC chip-enabled cards, and the proprietary software in the app seamlessly combines the music within each card to create a unique mix."
While I don't think something like this is imminent, what would you think of a potential future where playing physical Magic: The Gathering incorporated a system like this?
I always thought augmented reality with something like Google Glass picking up card numbers and giving info and visuals based on that was the way to go.
Well having a desk-cam that registers magic cards and enables you to play mtgo with a paper deck has always been a great idea. Move the card on your playmat, it would move on the screen. Simple idea, could be great. To prevent stacking of decks and so forth you'd just allow it for play between buddies. Would make long distance playing and testing much more appealing for the average player.
NFC is kind of a dead-end, but visual recognition is a solid idea.

Hasbro could design a specialized camera to support this concept for Magic, but I think it would just cost them too much money to R&D and maintain the hardware. I would imagine Magic players would complain pretty loudly if the camera failed and a replacement was not easily available.

Sounds like Hasbro needs a KaibaCorp, anyways back on subject. Interesting thought of doing Augmented Reality in magic, but I don't think its a good thing for magic as its more about the imagination compared to other games like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon (pokemon simluates the already pokemon Video Game more).

That concept was tried in Eye of Judgment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eye_of_Judgment
That game was for PS3, so it required a dedicated equipment set up.
