Show transcript0:00 This is the Rubik's Touch Cube, the first fully electronic solvable Rubik's Cube from Technosource. 0:04 What we've done is taken one of the most popular toys of all time, the Rubik's Cube, and with cutting edge technology made it electronic. 0:10 So instead of turning it, each side actually has a touch sensitive panel on it, so that all I have to do is swipe it in any direction, and it makes the same exact moves the original cube did. 0:20 It also has a motion detecting accelerometer to tell the cube which side is up and active, so that while I'm holding it, I don't make any mistaken moves, uh, while my hands are touching the sides. 0:30 There's also some great features in here to, uh, help you, anyone, learn how to solve the cube. 0:35 For example, if I press the hint button, it shows me the next logical move towards solving. 0:41 So the cube actually wants me to turn a quarter turn towards me. 0:45 Uh, some other great features on here is, think about when you scramble or when you're working on it, you make a mistake, you don't know what you did wrong, and you have to start over. 0:51 Now this cube has an undo button, so it can actually undo every move that you've made. 0:56 The, uh, the program remembers every move you've made since the beginning, so you keep undoing to get back on track. 1:00 And if that doesn't work for you, you press the solve button, and it'll actually solve it step by step. 1:04 So first cube not only solve itself, but also be able to teach anyone how to solve the Rubik's Cube. 1:09 Some other great features is that it comes with a rechargeable stand, and the batteries are rechargeable internal, so you never have to worry about changing them. 1:15 And while it's in the stand, it does this great display mode, so it even doubles as room decor. 1:19 And that is the Rubix TouchQ from Techosaurus.
