You've probably already seen this on YouTube... The "Fentix Cube" by Andrew Fentem. From the BBC:
A small plastic cube with playful lights, it could be mistaken for a mass market throwaway toy manufactured by the million in the Far East.
But the colourful exterior masks a combination of innovative technologies that have propelled Apple's iPhone and Nintendo's Wii to huge success this year.
The cube contains a large battery, an array of LEDs and crucially three accelerometers which can detect the pitch and yaw of the device, and sensors on the inside surface for touch control.
Mr Fentem says: "You instinctively know how to use it. The way you understand the world as a young child is through physical and spatial awareness, up or down. It's how you learn and communicate."
The cube is not for sale yet, but he hopes to have it available by next Christmas. See also AndrewFentem.com.
