With Valve&#8217;s permission, they took the project forward with the aim of releasing a new brand augmented reality glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, key investors later pulled their funding and a failed Series B funding round\u00a0led to the company&#8217;s closure in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years later, Ellsworth is once again forging ahead with Tilt Five. These AR glasses will interact with a game board laid out in front of players, providing them with an animated 3D tabletop gaming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"3009\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/technology\/holographic-tabletop-gaming-new-kickstarter-from-jeri-ellsworth-raises-630000-within-2-days\/attachment\/tilt-five-ar-glasses\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tilt-five-ar-glasses.gif\" data-orig-size=\"680,444\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"tilt-five-ar-glasses\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tilt-five-ar-glasses-300x196.gif\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tilt-five-ar-glasses.gif\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"680\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/tilt-five-ar-glasses.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3009\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The glasses will feature a patented 110-degree field of view so users have a wider perspective on the game board, as opposed to most AR glasses where the bulky housing narrows their vision.
