Dice+ Bluetooth Multi-Funtion Gaming Controller

This Dice+ Bluetooth Multi-Funtion Gaming Controller looks simple, but it does a lot. This six-sided die turns your tablet into a virtual game board. Sounds fun right?

It is compatible with Bluetooth 2.1+ devices and has a proximity sensor, magnetic field sensor, and an accelerometer. This die links to your tablet via Bluetooth and turns your tablet into a gameboard. Right now Dice+ has a half a dozen free games it can interface with. There is a version of backgammon, parcheesi, and Twister for instance. In some games the die indicates via color whose turn it is. You can expect more games to be compatible soon because there’s an SDK available, plus an RPG coming out later this year.
