VIDEOS: the digital version of the Rubik’s Cube is here!

The little “Magic Cube” was born more than 40 years ago and became world-famous thanks to the Hungarian engineer-inventor, Ernő Rubik. The iconic logic game has conquered millions of people around the world. What is even more surprising is that from now on we can try the new digital version of the Hungarian invention.

Since its invention, Ernő Rubik’s iconic logic has gained popularity all around the world. The game has become a classic, with countless variations, including the standard 3×3, 2×2 and 4×4 cubes. In addition, it also appeared in different shapes such as pyramids, and even its puzzle version became available on the game market. This time, however, the result is a groundbreaking solution that surpasses all of them. The inventors of the startup WOWcube have come up with the digital version of the Rubik’s Cube. The 2×2 version combines the features of a classic logic game, while giving it a modern spin to make it even more enjoyable. As YankoDesign reports, the small screens on all sides of the cube – that can act and show display independently from each other – let the player tap and swipe to play a game or control an app.

In addition to the rotation, the digital version of Rubik’s cube can respond to touch thanks to its accelerometer and gyroscope. The 2×2 cube is made up of 8 cubes of the same construction, each with its own processor and touch screens, which are connected and held together by magnets – reported by the Hungarian news portal Rakéta.
