Abstract
Rubikon is a device that allows users to interact with
common user interfaces by using an augmented Rubik’s
Cube that senses users’ actions and displays information
on each tile. Rubikon has advantages over the traditional
mouse or the mid-air approach such as high number of
degrees of freedom and implicit haptic feedback when
rotating the sides. We present our first prototype that
senses rotations and has a button with a RGB LED on
each side. We also present four applications we developed
for it. We then show the results of a preliminary study
assessing the potential of Rubikon as an interactive
device.
