Mirage is a digital chess set concept that includes a digital projector aside from the conventional chess pieces. This portable chess set is designed for chess enthusiasts that can track the moves of the pieces and provides different playing modes to the user as per the user’s requirement. The old fashioned mode allows two players to play face to face just like an ordinary chess set. When in online mode, a player on net acts as an opponent and the physical pieces are used to play an online game. Finally, the learning or practicing mode allows playing against a computer or watch a game to learn the moves played by chess masters.
