"Differing from the original Rubik's Cube, which has six faces that each contain a 3×3 grid, the Rubik's WOWCube, made available for preorder today, as spotted by The Verge, has six faces with 2×2 grids. Rather than a solid-colored sticker, each of the toy's 24 squares is a 240×240 IPS display. The cube itself is composed of eight "cubicle modules," as Cubios, the company behind the toy, calls them."
"Our patented magnetic connectors allow the modules to maintain perfect electrical contact and seamless data flow between them, no matter how the cube is rotated. This ensures that data can be transferred between autonomous modules on the fly, enabling data sharing and distributing low voltage power across the WOWCube ... Each of the 24 displays can be set to show a solid color for solving a simpler, but still captivating, Rubik's puzzle."
The WOWCube is a modernized Rubik's Cube with six faces of 2×2 grids, replacing traditional stickers with 24 individual 240×240 IPS displays. The cube consists of eight magnetic 'cubicle modules,' each containing three screens and a dedicated SoC that maintain electrical contact and data flow while rotating. Integrated sensors include a gyroscope and a 6-axis accelerometer, and the device includes eight speakers and a rechargeable battery rated up to seven hours. Games and apps are added via the WOWCube Connect iOS or Android app over Bluetooth, and the online app store lists 47 games, some paid and some not yet available.
