Sifteo Cubes




you’re not looking at iPad Nanos in the picture above, instead, they’re the Sifteo Cubes that were debuted two years ago at TED. Just in case you missed it out, imagine having little individual small cubes that can interact with each other; something like the popular game Tamagotchi but better and does more than letting you keep a digital pet that can interact with another pet. Imagine having little cubes of computer in your hand. You can sync these cubes to your PC or Mac and when you’re done, you can purchase apps for these little babies. Each individual cube will be able to perform independently and sense when other cubes are near to work together so while one’s playing video on the tiny display, others can be used to display pictures, and even be used to play games. 
Watch the video for a more thorough explanation. Other applications the Sifteo can be used for includes word scrambling, solve mathematical problems and use as individual music controls. We’re not quite sure about the availability here, but it’ll be available in the U.S. for a slashed-down price of USD$99 instead of the normal price of $149. The package will come with 3 interactive cubes, a charging dock, USB wireless link and AC adapter. Do visit Newlaunches to catch the video of Sifteo Cubes in action at the TED.
