What it is

Physical dice for virtual adventures

The Vision Dice Tower lets players keep the satisfying ritual of rolling real dice while sharing those results with an online game. It is designed to bridge the tabletop experience and virtual play without replacing the dice in your hand.

Built around computer vision, the tower captures a completed roll, identifies the die type and result, and sends the roll into online play—starting with Roll20.

    The completed result is sent to Roll20 and logged like a digital roll.
