I am curious if one, something like this exists, and two what the cost might be? I am looking for a screen, I assume an e-ink is the best/cheapest option and I want it to be as close as possible to the size of a playing card, ideally not thicker than 2MM. But I think up to 5mm could work....
That’s exactly the idea! They would have pins somewhere on the buttom, you would plug all your “cards” into a dock that would act as a carrying case. There would be an open source website where people can design different games and then you choose one of the games and it refreshes all the cards to whatever game you want to play.
That’s the idea anyway, whether it’s feasible for something people are willing to pay is a different question.
I did find some 1mm price tags on Alibaba for 3-5$ which could possibly be repurposed. The issue is I really would like to get the price driven down to $2-1, maybe even less… I want this thing to be able to mimic any kind of card game, and some of them have up to 300 cards… I think the plan would be to have 150 card sets. That would cover a lot of games, and if your playing a really nerdy game that does need 250+ cards or something there is a chance your friend might also have a set.
If you could get the price tag $300 or less you could probably get a lot of hard-core tabletop card gamers. I know thats a huge price tag, but the product isn’t meant for the masses.
Thanks I did try before, but now I had success. I stumbled upon those little price tags stores use to digitally update prices. Those could possibly work for this.
What's the thinnest E-ink screen that is closest to 3.5×2.5 inch?
