Imagine if a office building was transformed into a giant Rubick’s Cube for you to solve?
That’s what Javier Lloret imagined and then turned it into a reality using some really cool tech.
Called the Puzzle Facade, here’s how it works:
“In Puzzle Facade the player interacts with the specially designed interface-cube. The interface-cube holds electronic components inside that allow for it keep track of its orientation and the rotations of each side of the cube. This data is sent over Bluetooth to a computer that runs the Puzzle Facade designed software. This software changes the lights and color of the large-scale Ars Electronica’s media facade in correlation to the handheld interface-cube.
Due to the nature of this building and its surroundings, the player is only able to see two sides at the same time. This factor increases the difficulty of solving the puzzle, but as the player is able to rotate and flip the interface-cube, it is not a blocking factor.”
To put it simply:
This is so awesome:
