I remember when we were children playing with blocks and re-built it again and again without getting bored .. Won’t it be interesting if we go back to play with them again but with a little different way?!!

This what the student David Merrill – student at the graduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute – when he convert the cubes to a computer surface to interact with them:

Merrill has invented Siftables computer cubes that replaces the traditional mouse to can interact with a computer in a sensual way!!All you need to do is to hold it in your hand, mixing, and rotate it just like you play with it, and each has its own monitor , radio receptor and it recognise the movements of each other cubes !!
