Interactive Color Cube
Designed and built by Steve Gilbertson

The color is controlled by the orientation and motion of the cube!

For a look at how it was made, see http://stevegilbertson.com/projects/14

The cube contains 54 RGB LEDs and a 3-axis accelerometer. Different color combinations are achieved by rotating the cube. Each axis of the accelerometer (x, y, z) controls a channel of color (r, g, b), respectively.

All of the electronics are contained inside a 2" cube, which is covered in LEDs. With 54 LEDs and 4 pins each, that's 216 connections! This cube of LEDs is suspended in the 4" cube of translucent white acrylic.

  • how much do they cost? :o) really how much? i want one...

  • @wholovesamy Hi, thanks for your interest. Only one of these was made (by hand)... but I've also considered producing a number of them. Quite a few changes would need made to make this commercially viable, but perhaps I will revisit my idea and see if it's feasible :-)
