‘Project Field’ Announced By Sony

"Project Field" has been the highlight of the presentation by Sony and ForwardWorks. During the presentation, Sony revealed its involvement with the same. Starting with Yo-kai Watch, the company is all set to bring another card game platform to cell phones. It is reported that the idea of "Project Field" originated when Sony conceptualized thoughts for creating something like what they had with "My First Sony."

"My First Sony" was a series of smaller-scale electronics made by Sony in the mid-late 1980s. The main intention of the company was to create stuff intended for use by children. Keeping the end customers in mind, the company made the products out of brightly colored plastic, usually red, and large colorful buttons with simplified controls. "My First Sony" products included a Walkman, amplified microphone with tape deck, recording tape deck, Boom box, alarm clock, electronic sketch pad, and headset walkie talkies, reported The Wolf Hall.

Sony, with "Project Field" is flaunting their committed smart pads that match with a smartphone or tablet. The company is opening up a completely new horizon to the experience of gaming. A user can now think of the possibilities that they have in the gaming world. To cite, imagine a game like "Hearthstone" with physical cards that you purchase in store. It is exciting, reported Engadget.

Using this, when a player places a card on one of the pads, it recognizes all features through an NFC-like remote innovation. The correct position of the card is then sent to the smartphone or tablet with the help of Bluetooth. Once the card is in the game, the pad can identify the development. The cards will be both decipherable and writable. What this translates to is in-diversion and the status changes can be spared. The players will also be able to improve a character.

We cannot call this a brand new idea as Sengoku Taisen, Kantai Collection and other Japanese arcade recreations as of now mix collectible cards with computer games. Also, NFC chips are available for Nintendo's Amiibo cards for Animal Crossing. What puts "Project Field" apart is its compactness and potential reach.

The "Project Field" is all set to make its debut in Japan. However, it is anticipated that the product will see a global release too.
