Rubik’s TouchCube – The World’s First Completely Electronic, Solvable Rubik’s Cube

The original Rubik’s cube became a cultural phenomenon throughout the world when it was released on the market in 1980, and according to Wikipedia, it still sells better than just about any other toy. But this is the digital age, so techie toy maker TechnoSource decided it was time to make an electronic version of the diabolically challenging cube. The latest version of the cube doesn’t require twisting and turning the colored layers at all. A simple swipe of the finger does the trick. It’s a Rubik’s Cube for the iPhone age!rubik's cube

All six sides utilize cutting edge, easy-to-use touch sensor technology. Swipe your fingers across the squares and the lights will follow, emulating a turn or twist. Simply slide the lighted squares horizontally, vertically, or rotate a face with a touch of your finger. If ever you’re stuck, the TouchCube can give you a hint or solve it step by step right before your eyes. The TouchCube’s powerful processor knows exactly the number of moves needed to solve at any given time.

Another exciting feature of this cool gadget is that it allows you to choose between modern sound effects or an actual recording of the original Cube’s twist. The TouchCube also comes with a recharging stand, and will solve itself while charging, creating a captivating light display.

Techno Source has spent three years hard at work in their underground puzzle and wonderment factory to bring us the TouchCube, and now, it can be ours. For $150, the Rubik’s TouchCube can be purchased at Amazon.com.
