Ultimately someone may use RFID which can have as shirt as a few millimeter read range to create a board that automatically transcribes plays.

It is currently technologically feasible. Checkers halfway over a line, misplays and checkers stacked 3 or more high might be challenging but should be able to be dealt with via smart software.

Because of the limited market for this type of board it is not financially feasible. If I could buy a board and software that incorporated this I would probably pay an additional $?-hundred for it, over the price of the board I wanted.
