There are countless board game apps that can be downloaded to play virtual versions of classic games but Board Boss is of the option that "board game apps aren't as fun as the real thing"—but it also acknowledges that there are some fun things that can only be done with software. Board Boss offers the best of both worlds with its app, which fuses elements of beloved board games with augmented reality and artificial intelligence for enhanced gameplay experiences.
The first release from Board Boss supports Boggle and it helps to reveal the word combinations missed by a player after a game. The app is able to do this with the help of computer vision and AR, which creates an overlay atop the real game pieces.
