Abstract

Card decks are traditionally used in gaming, providing a tangible and interactive experience that online platforms struggle to replicate. These physical decks foster a sense of connection and immersion that is often lost in digital translations. To bridge this gap, we introduce The Proteus Card Deck. This innovative solution leverages battery-less e-ink displays that function collectively as a single deck, enabling gameplay that mimics the tactile engagement of traditional card games, while allowing players to not be co-located. The Proteus Card Deck stands out by offering a scalable and affordable system, enhancing remote, online gaming experiences by restoring the physicality and presence of traditional card decks.
