The Nixie Chessboard Kit Functions on an Induction Power System

— June 30, 2012 — Art & Design
As Dvice aptly puts it, the Nixie Chessboard Kit effectively combines "nerdiness of chess with the retro-geekiness of vintage Nixie tubes." Utilizing the '80s Soviet-era tubes as chess pieces, it brings the strategy game to a whole new level. Complete with scientific symbols, this chess set can't get any better. Operating on an induction power system, the pieces in the Nixie Chessboard Kit remain lit until taken off the board.

Designed by Tony of Lasermad, the Nixie Chessboard Kit was created after a demand for his original prototype emerged. While all of the electronic elements have been previously assembled and tested, most of the components will have to be put together from scratch, making this a very long project even for the most seasoned kit builder and tech enthusiast.
Trend Themes
1. Retro-tech Gaming - There is an opportunity to capitalize on the nostalgia trend by creating innovative tech-gaming products that merge retro aesthetics with modern technology.
2. Induction Power Systems for Gaming - There is an opportunity to create innovative gaming products that utilize induction power systems, allowing for seamless and wireless gameplay experiences.
3. DIY Tech Kits - There is an opportunity to create more DIY tech kits that challenge and engage consumers to build and assemble their tech products from scratch.
Industry Implications

2. Tech Industry - The tech industry can benefit from developing more induction power systems that can be utilized across various applications, including gaming.
3. DIY Kit Industry - The DIY kit industry can create more complex and challenging tech kits for tech enthusiasts who want to build and assemble their technology from scratch.
