Designed by Zhiliang Chen, the new Rubik Cube comes with six different basic materials : including metal, wood, textile, rubber, plastic and stone. And with these different textures, the better for the visually-impaired to have a "good feel" on playing this genius' vexing game. The young designer Chen, a Hong Kong-based industrial designer dubbed by tech vigilants as the "design llama" fell under what he calls his "Touch and Play Design" for the blind, winning a 2006 IF Concept Award. Players of this "simple yet attractive" toy for the visually-challenged have them feeling each square segment on the cube and matching them up based on texture--a task . And that may be harder than the original. from Vanessa The Google Girl. my skype name is rainbowstar123
