Inspired by the Lewis Carroll ’s novel ‘ Alice through the Looking Glass , ’ designerYasmin Sethideveloped a chess game set that features pieces that “ magically turn transparent ” when they touch the gameboard . In other word of honor , when removed from the wager surface , a pawn would be unintelligible - nearly identical from any other bit on the control board . However , when in contact with the board , the small-arm divulge its true identity . This result serves to cue the instrumentalist that the piece of music have no value unless they are in swordplay .
The impression work thanks to a table made out of a glass textile with embedded LED ( LightPoints ) and chess game pieces made from clear field glass with the negative frame of a traditional , delicate Staunton chess piece enclosed within it . set the chess slice on the add-in dispatch a circuit that illuminates the negative shapes , draw them seeable . There is even a cagy nod to a transition in the Christian Bible where the White Knight talks about being able to think better when he is upside down . In theAlice chess set , all of the white-hot knights on the display board will not illuminate unless placed in the upside down view . All - in - all , the ‘ Alice ’ conception is interesting Modern turn of events on the traditional game . With any fortune , a real world intersection will come down the line sometime in the time to come . [ Project PageviaPan - DanviaDVICE ]
