Patented technology, unique CubiOS operating system, and a single digital cube surface formed by screens turn the WOWCube® system into a cube you twist, tilt and shake for gaming, learning, and content. You may play many games, download new games from the application store via Bluetooth, and develop new games and applications.
We virtualized the Rubik’s Cube and it received the features that were not there before plus a score, a leaderboard, tracking the game progress. The main difference from the puzzle Cube is that you can run many different games, more than one, and not necessarily puzzles.
It’s not just for gaming. WOWCube® system is a standalone device; it connects to smartphones via Bluetooth.
