Tilt Five has raised $7.5 million to build its augmented reality glasses, game board, and wand controller for playing tabletop board games in AR.

The funding is an endorsement for Tilt Five CEO Jeri Ellsworth as she applies her years of work on AR goggles to tabletop games. She hopes AR will transform our dining room tables so we can play these games without worrying we’re going to knock all of the pieces off the board.
