It's amazing how such a classic toy can be revised with new technology. We'll have to wait and see how it compares with the original.
The Rubik's Cube has now reached new heights. It's gone Touch technology. Techno Source will be introducing the first touch screen Rubik's cube and showcasing two other new products for 2009 at the Toy Industry Association's (TIA) American International Toy Fair on February 15-18. Following up the 2008 TIA TOTY Game of the Year Rubik's Revolution, Techno Source's Rubik's TouchCube seamlessly blends cutting edge technology with the world's #1 puzzle. Featuring touch sensor technology on all 6 sides and lights in every square, slide the lights with a simple swipe of your finger to mimic the moves of the original Cube. The Rubik's TouchCube also includes a built-in solver, so now anyone can easily learn how to solve a Cube step by step and a memory chip that will remember your exact spot when solving, even when it is turned off or charging.
Also at Toy Fair, guests will visit our hi-tech toy factory and make their own Printies(tm) stuffed collectible, or find a Smiley Central Studio toy that represents who they are and how you feel! Using patent-pending technology, Techno Source will turn home PCs and inkjet printers into toy factories for boundless creative expression. Children will be able to take their online creations offline like never before, in the form of one-of-a-kind Printies(tm) collectible stuffed toys.
Partnering with online leader IAC, Techno Source will introduce Smiley Central Studio(tm) toys and SmileyCentralStudio.com, allowing kids to express themselves through smileys. Kids can collect their favorite Smiley Central Studio characters in the form of plush, collectibles, and activity kits. Each toy includes a studio token with a secret code to unlock smiley parts, accessories and even art assets in the online art studio at SmileyCentralStudio.com.
