WOW! Hungarians made the new generation of the Rubik’s cube? – Video

The brand new generation of the Hungarian Rubik’s cube, the lavosball, has four sides, but it forms a ball instead of a cube. The original idea came from János Szabolcs, a decorator and designer nominated for the Emmy Award in 2004, and the prototype already exists.

The journalists of qubit were able to try this new generation of games in which the goal is the same as in the case of the well-known Rubik’s cube made in 1974 by Ernő Rubik: you have to twist it until its four sides are the same colour. However, lavosball consists of 4+4 discs instead of cubes, reported qubit.

The name of the product derives from the pen name of its creator. János Szabolcs told qubit that they were shooting a movie on a distant island, and the manager of the production modified his name somehow to Jan Lavos. From then on, he has been using that as his pen name.

The novelty of the ball is that it goes beyond the classical three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. According to lavosball.com, you can twist it like the already existing puzzle games, but if you press the centre of the reels with the Lavos-motion, a new world will open up. Thus, the Lavos movement is the new turning point.
