What technology distinguish Gamster from its compeditors.


Social networks such as Facebook have "social" video games that are used to keep users online for longer periods of time.  Indeed for many users the primary activity is gaming.  Gamster will distinguish itself by not providing digital "Skinner Boxes" but will provide its users with the tools to simulate a local "face-to-face" gaming experience of the users' choice.  The digital game table (DGT) will be a real time simulation of a game table, complete with boards, map overlays, figurines, props, dice etc.  While logged into an instance of the DGT (a game session) users will be able to chat via a video interface.  The DGT owner will be able to arrange the each users video feed window around the DGT to represent where each player would be physically located around a physical table.  By focusing on table top game simulation Gamster distinguishes itself from other social networks.  By having a social network component Gamster distinguishes itself from other table top gaming aids.
