Rubik's TouchCube: 80s classic goes digital
The simplicity of the Rubik's cube helped it become the world's top-selling puzzle game, but ignoring that, makers have just launched a digital version.Rubik's TouchCube features no moving parts and instead of coloured stickers the squares are now touch-sensitative and interactive lights.
Users swipe their fingers over the squares to mimic turning the section, and the toy also has a built-in accelerometer to detect which side is facing up.
All this sounds needlessly high-tech until you hear one thing ... if you can't complete it you can now press a button have the £150 toy suggest your next move, or even reset itself.
A spokesperson said: "One of the downfalls with the traditional cube is that once is scrambles it stays that way until you solve it leaving many a cube in pieces after is has been launched across the room in frustration.
"Well not the TouchCube which comes with an internal programme to help you solve the puzzle and a built-in memory that will remember where you left off.
"Or if it’s just a little help you want, it will suggest your next move or take you back a step or two when you’ve messed up."
