Welcome to the future of gaming! This video made me as giddy as a little girl. Gizmodo published an exclusive interview on 08, Feb, 2008 with the ridiculously gifted [Andrew Fentem](http://www.andrewfentem.com)â€”who went from working on classified missile systems to developing multi-touch human interfaces, kinetic surfaces and motion sensing technologies before almost anyone else in the planet. It's a must read for any tech lover.

The video above shows the *World's first cubic multi-touch touchscreen games platform*. Featuring a unique ultra-bright (even in daylight) full-colour cubic screen and a unique cubic multitouch touchscreen technology (patent pending) this games platform has been programmed to implement various multi-dimensional games, puzzles, and lighting effects. In this video clip the Fentix Cube has been programmed to emulate a [Rubik's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playcube) cube puzzle. Many more applications have been developed.
