ExtraplanarLabs.net created an app called Arcane Eye that uses your phone camera (and possibly a USB camera?) to read physical dice rolls and sync them directly to a VTT or game log with the appropriate roll labels.
I hope D&D Beyond could look at adding something like this. Many players want to roll real dice while playing digitally, and this would finally bridge physical and online play.
Let us roll real dice without breaking digital integration; a huge quality-of-life win for digital tables.
Note: I understand the concerns about camera use or moderation: Wizards of the Coast already uses camera-based technology with SpellTable for Magic: The Gathering, where players use webcams to play remotely. The precedent already exists; cameras use with clear guidelines and user controls.
