How does one use a WowCube?

How does one interact with the WowCube? Does it have touch screens? Is there a way to hook a controller up to it? I see people in the video rotating the screens around, does that produce input somehow?

Hard to design a game for hardware that I cannot visualize how it is used...

Hey @TheLameBrain — great question!

The WOWCube® is controlled by twisting, tilting, shaking, and tapping the cube. Each of the 8 modules has its own screen, and the cube responds to physical movements — kind of like a digital Rubik’s Cube!

No touchscreens or external controllers — the device itself is the controller.  (It has gyroscopes and all sorts of sensors inside)
You design games around motion and interaction with the cube.

Let us know if you have more questions — happy to help!

How precise are the tap sensors? Can it tell what module a user tapped? Can the modules tell which of their 3 screens was tapped?

the on_pat event handler has properties that let you check for taps/pats on certain modules and screen so it's very granular :)
