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.
