Field notes
The page presents a browser-demo link alongside a sample voice interaction: “Knight to f3” is mapped to g1→f3, and the transcript lists commands such as undo, new game, and flip board. It describes Camlann as a solid-walnut board with weighted wooden pieces and a hidden magnetic motor, including support for knight jumps and captures. These hardware details are presented as product claims, with shipping stated for 2026.
