This documentation will provide you with the necessary information on how to use PeekSmith 3 with Insight Pro and its compatible features.
Insight Pro is an NFC (Near Field Communication) reader system developed by Hugo Shelley. It consists of a miniature wrist-worn reader and a deck of 52 electronic playing cards. With the ability to detect playing cards at a distance of up to 11cm (4.5 inches), Insight Pro offers advanced capabilities for card tricks and magic performances. The original Insight device can read one card, while the Pro edition can read up to three cards at a time. Please note that Insight is a discontinued product.
PeekSmith 3 has included support for Insight (both the original and the Pro edition) since the first firmware update. This means that PeekSmith 3 can connect to Insight devices and display the names of the scanned cards. Also, the PeekSmith app can connect to it, and read the card information.
