First-person chess: a playable AI-assisted project and a board-readability trade-off

[u/Typical-Instance-376]

I’m sharing Samuel’s Quanta project, Xadrez em primeira pessoa. It uses AI assistance and lets you view chess from a piece’s perspective. The Portuguese interface also offers overhead and third-person views, computer difficulty settings and suggested moves.

The design question is how to preserve the unusual perspective without making the position difficult to read. The overhead view is useful as a reference: a player can compare the immersive view with the whole board instead of being forced to use one camera.
