| − | WOWCube® system is the World’s first mixed-reality entertainment platform delivering a uniquely immersive
| + | WOWCube is a game console or an electronic puzzle shaped as 2x2x2 Rubik's Cube. Serving as an example of a tangible user interface, it consists of eight identical elements working as a whole. It allows launching specially designed games. |
| − | experience. Powered by patented technology, unique CubiOS operating system patented and 24 interactive multi-media channels, WOWCube® the system is the next generation cube you twist, tilt and shake for gaming, learning, and content.

| |
| − | Our company has built an operating system from scratch, and this is where things get interesting.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The operating system allows each cube to act independently, but it can also interact with other cubes and share data. Moreover, the
| |
| − | 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.

| | * [[Games]] | | * [[Games]] |
| − | Different games from different genres like arcade, maze, puzzle, word, and classical educational games could be played with the WOWCube® system.
| |
| − | The main difference from the puzzle is that you can run many different games on the cube, more than one game, and they are not
| |
| − | necessary should be puzzles.
| |
| − | 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
| |
| − | combination of modern interesting video games and classical interesting puzzles.
| |
| − | 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.

| − | You play in 3 dimensions, the entire surface of the cube is involved in the game, so you need to turn on your spatial reasoning.
