“For anyone who loves gadgets and games, and parents who want to invest in their child’s cognitive abilities, the WOWCube system is a modern version of the Rubik's Cube, that will continue to evolve and entertain,” says CubiOs Inc. President Ilya Osipov. “With our WOWCube System, players interact with games in a unique and thoughtful way – by examining the action from different angles and sorting it out using motor skills and three-dimensional thinking. It is so much more than a gadget or a game, it’s also a certified educational device and developmental tool, that’s fun too!”

The WOWCube System features eight separate cubicle modules connected to each other, that let you interact with the digital world as if it were real. Each module is a separate device with three high-resolution screens and a CPU inside. Video games run simultaneously on all 24 screens covering six sides of the device, as the 3D puzzle cube delivers a unique experience where virtual gameplay is controlled by physically tilting, twisting, and shaking. When not in use for gaming, the system can be placed on the charging dock to connect with your smartphone via Bluetooth, and each of the 24 screens can be used to showcase information you want or need handy, like health statistics or time, and social media.

CubiOs Inc. is building an entirely new ecosystem of games, widgets, and apps for the WOWCube by providing DevKit and APIs for developers worldwide, who are inspired by unique possibilities to create immersive-reality worlds on the next-gen cube. More details on the DevKit for developing Cube Apps will be available soon, says CubiOs Inc.

The WOWCube is a novelty oddity that looks fun to play with but we don't think would push the boundaries of gaming anywhere. While some games appear to have been developed exclusively for the WOWCube (like Space Invaders Cubed and this particular version of Cut The Rope) to make use of its unique properties and to give players a unique gaming experience, we don't think the WOWCube would be an essential gaming peripheral or system for anyone. It's still a cool toy, though we'd be happy to be proven wrong by CubiOs when it launches and fulfills its potential. We'd know more once the game system gets released later this December 2022.
