Computer-assisted gaming

In computer-assisted gaming, computers are used for recordkeeping and sometimes for the resolution of combat, but a Human referee makes any decisions requiring judgement.

An example is a poker calculator, which determines the player's probability of winning, losing, or tying a hand.

These elements may be used on their own, or in concert with miniatures to map out combats, and exploration or to introduce other visual media into the game without resorting to printing or drawing these items.

In the case of an external USB camera, it is placed behind the firing unit selected (third person shooter) in the direction of the target.
