[Gamescom 2013] Pre-orders now live for the Bluetooth-enabled Dice gaming peripheral DICE+

Back during E3 2012 we ran into a gaming peripheral that was cool and unique considering we’ve never seen anything like it before. This gaming peripheral comes in the form of Bluetooth enabled dice for use with board games on any platform (smartphones, tablets, etc) that accepts Bluetooth connections.

Developed by Gaming Technologies, DICE+ allows users to use actual dice to roll virtual dice in compatible games. There are a number of uses for these little things ranging from board games to whatever a developer can dream up to use them form. When you purchase some DICE+ it will also come with a selection of free games that already come with DICE+ compatibility. Apparently between now and early 2014 there is also a good selection of games to be released that will include DICE+ integration.

For the game developer out there interested in adding this functionality to their games, there is a developer kit available for you to grab and think up news ways to use these things. If you want to buy some DICE+ peripherals, pre-orders are now live and you can pick one up for $39.99 over on the DICE+ web store.
