Yu-Gi-Oh! is one of the most popular trading card games ever created, but many fans have always wanted to make the game even better by seeing their duel monsters come to life just like in the manga/anime. Setting out to make this dream a reality, YouTube channel SuperZouloux created a 3D stereoscopic projection system that does just that. Taking seven months to complete, the SuperZouloux created a game mat that can recognize a pre-set of cards and enters inputs into an application.
