"This concept of the Rubik Cube is an attempt to adjust this timeless toy to the needs of blind persons - it allows them to "feel" the colors. But the most interesting aspect of this concept is to recognize that it is almost that catchy for people who can see to solve this version of the cube - as it is difficult for blind persons to solve a regular magic cube."
Really incredible concept. I'd be curious to see if braille were actually the best way to do this, though. Wouldn't larger & more distinct shapes be easier to recognize by touch?

Beyond words! I had the same idea back in college, but I was too lazy to develop it. :D Nice to see it live! :)
