Digital Rubik's Cube

The Rubik's Cube is a fun mind toy that has been entertaining us for decades. There are various versions on the market, which differ from each other in the number of cubes and also in their shape, and this cube gives the matter another "dimension".

CubiO WowCube is not a classic Rubik's cube, but a kind of hybrid between a cube and a handheld gaming console. It consists of four smaller cubes that can be moved in the same way as the cubes of the classic 2x2 Rubik's cube, but with the difference that the outer surfaces of the cubes are not permanent images or monochrome surfaces, but consist of 24 screens on which the image can change. The ability to change images means that a wide variety of puzzles and games can be created. Images can be static and we use the cube in the same way as a Rubik's cube, but they can be dynamic and change depending on what is happening. On the cube, for example, it is possible to play a game in the style of Pac-Man and guide the gnawing creature around the cube by rotating it, we can connect pipes and make sure that we do not escape from them steam, but we can also build models of different molecules and more. Everything depends on the game, which is loaded into the cube via a mobile phone and starts by shaking the cube.

The cube weighs 335 grams, including the battery, which allows up to eight hours of playing time, and the side of the cube is a good 7 centimeters long. This does mean that CubiO WowCube isn't something that will be carried around in your pocket, but it looks like good and educational fun that should have been on the market for the past holidays, but the release was delayed due to known events. The new release date and price will be announced at CES, where the cube has already won an innovation award.
