The Smart Cube with SCREENS on every piece

[@Z3Cubing]

One year later, it looks like the current pre-order price for the starter pack is $399. That's a lot more than the $250 crowdfunding price I stated in the video, but I think my conclusion still stands. It totally makes sense when you look at how much custom hardware is squeezed into it, but that unfortunately makes the target audience rather small.

[@crypticshadows]

It’s a great concept! I hope it gets improved and made cheaper in the future, i’m very interested to see what’s gonna happen!

[@QwetzxlClips]

That sucks, it’s a great product, with a good concept and great execution, it got potential

this is gonna be super cool in 40 years when someone finds it and does a retro tech video on it and how they went out of business

[@dylanbksp]

and it'll either end with the CEO getting into a scandal, a worse CEO replacing the old one and running the company into the ground, or a new competitor gaining more popularity

[@topouzidd]

No Li-Ion battery works 40 years later. It's the reason today's devices will never work as retro tech. We can still play on MSX, Commodore 64 or ZX Spectrum (released exactly 40 years earlier), but we won't be able to find battery replacement for this in 40 years! We might not be able to find battery replacement for Nintendo Switch in 40 years, even though it's a very well established console today. (Ok, let me bookmark this comment and I'll come back to check it in 2062 if I'm still alive).

[@purelyfixedyyc4039]

Hahaha as soon as I saw the title picture I thought to myself, well shit, this will be cool in 30 years..

[@SoundblasterYT]

@@topouzidd unless they're made illegal I'm sure they will exist and perhaps be made on a small scale and expensive for these kinds of purposes. Its just gonna be hard to get.

[@topouzidd]

@@SoundblasterYT I mean specific rechargeable batteries for a device that stopped circulating 20-30 years ago, not Li-Ion batteries in general. I mean, we can still find and buy PSP battery but it was discontinued only 8 years ago and I don’t think we will be able to find a battery for PSP or a battery for this cube in 20 years.

Look at the design of the carrying case and TELL ME they aren't planning on releasing a 3x3 version in the future!! I'm honestly hyped to get my hands on one of these, and to see what kind of crazy puzzle apps/games people come up with for it!

[@Horiz21]

Before I opened this video, I thought it was just a display function added to a rubik, and the gameplay of the "Classic Cube" app also made me feel that there was no meaning. But when I saw the pipe game and candy delivery game that used the three-dimensional world features, I found that this is an unparalleled new idea! It is so amazing!

[@Adam_Lyskawa]

Before seeing this I was very skeptical to the idea. A cube with screens? Ridiculous! But now I know why it's called a WOWCube ;) This is exactly what it is. The games for it are awesome. I'm amazed by ingenuity of their authors. A kid playing with such toys in early age will surely have a great spatial thinking.

[@Panchurros753]

This truly looks incredible and appears to be a full-blown entertainment system which can be a toy or a very fun educational tool. With endless possibilities, I think the price will be justified. 🔥

[@IlyaOs]

Guys, we're just entering the market. And the price is very dependent on the volume of sales. If you manage to try large volumes, the price will fall. In addition, several companies are interested in licensing our development. For example, probably in Brazil the wowcube will be produced by another company. Our goal is to create a new market

[@Machodave2020]

I wouldn't really call it a toy. All 2×2 are puzzles and some are toys and some are not (and this goes for all puzzles). For example, a dollar store cube is a toy, but the GAN 251 is not a toy. Now this cube has gone beyond that designation. This is a piece of modern technology.

[@Multicubing]

@@Machodave2020 I can agree with your explanation. It is an extraordinary puzzle!!!

[@Sqift]

@@Machodave2020 Why's the Gan 251 not a toy?

[@Machodave2020]

@@Sqift because the GAN 251 M is $21.99. sure, we have toys that cost that much, but because it's a puzzle, I would say that's the starting price for conventional professional cubes (you can get cheaper ones, but this is the start). And this goes for all Rubik's based puzzles.

Really liking this, though I'd like to see a 3x3 eventually, and I'd also like the devkit to support Linux out of the box too, but the IDE they are pushing might work anyway. The hardware is seriously impressive. I think this is the first "smart" rubiks cube that isn't a convoluted mess or completely unnecessary. This actually improves on the "point" of the original rubiks cube by allowing for unique and new experiences with the puzzle. I love that they encourage taking apart the cube and even include the tools and accessories needed. I'll be keeping a close eye on the future of this tech.

Once you get to 2048, you win! 5. Once the board is full and you can’t go anywhere, it’s game over. What's your favourite game on the cube?

[@JojoS_09]

I looked at the price and I was very surprised that it was $300! Obviously that's a lot of money, but for a cube that's mixed with a smart phone, that's pretty cheap. I was expecting it to be at LEAST $600

[@1312_PV]

It's very cool but it also makes me sad to think of how much e-waste all this smart products introduce. One phone every three years and one laptop every six per person already lead to a near unmanageable amount of e-waste and a huge energetic cost, and there is no current way around it but to cut it down. Smart products (and products which didn't use to have electronics like headphones) appear but their energetic cost and possibilities of recycling doesn't improve. Cubing used to be a quite harmless hobby in this regard, but now just by buying a couple smart cubes more waste has been created than by a lifetime of traditional cubing. And given how resolution, battery life, cube mechanism speed, miniaturization, etc improve people will of course not buy only one of these to use for decades. Of course our personal decisions are near irrelevant next to some billionaire that takes a helicopter daily for a trip that can be done by tram, or to companies which really don't push hard enough to reduce their CO2 footprint and to make products that last a lifetime (as it's against their interest), but well, they have some impact. Sorry about the rambling. It's not your fault at all, of course.

[@patriotpearl264]

OMG... If you're that opposed to technology go pitch a tent in the woods somewhere and live off the grid. 🤦

[@1312_PV]

@@patriotpearl264 I work in the electronics engineering field, fella. I'm opposed to e-waste. And many e-waste is precisely stuff deliberately done low tech and low quality so you have to replace it in a few years instead of a lifetime. Think OLED screens for example, most won't las 4 years without significant burning. There is the tech to avoid it but companies would rather invest in guaranteeing some years of use and that it looks terrible immediately afterwards than in increasing lifetime. Also, improving our recycling capabilities is a very tech intensive project. What is "go live on a tent" levels of outdated is filling landfields to the brim like we do and like we used to do a thousand years ago too.
