| | + | [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/History_of_video_games/Platforms/WOWCube WOWCube] is a game console or an electronic puzzle shaped as 2x2 Rubik's Cube, also utilizing the idea of a magnetic puzzle by an American inventor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_D._Nichols Larry Nichols]. Serving as an example of a tangible user interface, it consists of eight identical elements working as a whole. The surface is covered by 24 screens. |
| | + | WOWCube was invented by Savva and Ilya Osipov (Son and Father) on September 10, 2016 |

| − | Our company has built an operating system from scratch, and this is where things get interesting.
| + | It is a stand-alone digital device that uses a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangible_user_interface Tangible interface] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_reality Mixed Reality] to create an exciting development environment with unusual characteristics in which puzzle-like dynamic games can work. |

| − | The operating system allows each cube to act independently, but it can also interact with other cubes and share data. Moreover, the | + | The main difference from mechanical puzzles is that you can run and keep many different games on the cube (and not necessarily puzzles as well). When you’re not using it, the WOWCube® system can go into screensaver mode. With some imagination and creativity, the WOWCube® system can turn into a multipurpose device (i.e. info-surface). It’s a standalone device and to expand it's personalization capabilities (among others) you can connect it to a smartphone via BT. |
| − | the operating system can scale up to handle as many cubes as necessary and in any configuration, a licensee could want.
| |
| − | So frankly speaking, it doesn’t matter if it is a 2-by-2 or 3-by-3 model cube or even if it looks like a snake. The operating system will
| |
| − | be able to manage and control how the cubes in the device interact, making it a powerful platform for all sorts of potential devices.
| |
| − | Distributed computing occurs in parallel with 8 modules. The operating system maintains its integrity.
| |
| − | At the same time, it allows you to reconfigure the device, and configuration can be changed all the time. Geometrically it is in constant
| |
| − | change by the user.
| |
| − | Furthermore, the operating system prioritizes the user’s actions. For example, while a smartphone or a computer can ignore user input if it isn’t ready, our device cannot ignore being turned. Think about it; when you turn the device, you are changing its geometry.
| |
| − | This means the OS has to handle the user’s actions first over all other routing procedures.
| |
| | | | |
| − | So, we have developed the operation system, an open API, and a Software Development Kit to allow independent developers to
| |
| − | create their own applications and make it available for download through the WOWCube® Application store.
| |
| − | Anyone who wants to play more games can download any application on the WOWCube® Application store to the device. And
| |
| − | anyone who wants to develop an application could do so by using the SDK.

| − | Different games from different genres like arcade, maze, puzzle, word, and classical educational games could be played with the WOWCube® system.

| − | Heroes, game characters move from side to side. You control the game by switching geometry. Through holes such as from top to
| |
| − | the bottom could be used as a game challenge and it’s not available in other gaming devices.
| |
| − | We could change the complexity of the game scene and the script of the game in real-time. We can even make the games multiplayer
| |
| − | by playing together, tracking each other’s scores, or share a replay of a completed game.
| |
| − | At the moment we have about 10 different games of different genres like Butterflies, Steam Pipes, Pong, 2048, Cut The Rope, Pac-Man, Scrabble, and much more in production.

| − | Everyone could find something interesting in WOWCube® system. We believe it will be interesting for kids as it’s the
| |

| |
| − | For those who need to have something to pass the time while waiting or traveling, WOWCube® system will be the best friend.
| |
| − | At house it could be used not only as a game device but as a décor element or night lamp or smart home assistant – it all depends on
| |
| − | your imagination.
| |
| − | It’s good for people who experience stress at work as the research found that fidgeting lowers the level of cortisol, a stress hormone.
| |
| − | WOWCube® system could help to get distracted and relax.
| |
| − | The WOWCube® system requires motor coordination and dexterity skills and we believe it can help to develop the motor-to-brain
| |
| − | skills of children, help to support brain activity in senior people and even bolster motor recovery in persons with neurological
| |
| − | challenges. As you know, thinking and fine hand motor skills are both involved in games obviously connected to mental activity. Most
| |
| − | of the studies we have found respond positively to the development of children or adults who constantly play such puzzles.
| |
| − | We have not conducted research on the impact of the WOWCube® system on cognitive abilities, but there is reason to believe that
| |
| − | this will work just like with twisty puzzles.
| |
| − | In addition to many of the newly discovered benefits of video game playing, like improved spatial reasoning, peripheral vision, and
| |
| − | attention to detail, the WOWCube® system's dynamic interaction forces the player to rotate the device can decrease myopism.
