Name of Project: Rubik’s Sphere for the Blind
CAD Program Used: Inventor Professional 2008

Description:

The Rubik’s Cube is an invention of the times. It’s a six sided colored
cube. The object of the game is to group all six colors back after
scrambling them. Part of my re-design of the Rubik’s Cube was to make it
spherical so it fits in the palm of your hand. I made the sphere hallow
with big openings so it‘s easy to grip and move the thumb parts around.
It also gives the old Rubik’s Cube a more modern, sleek, new and improved
look.
The second part of my re-design was to make the game fun to play for anyone
and everyone. You can play this Rubik’s game with your eyes closed. I
didn’t think it was fair that the blind can’t be in on this brain bending
game. That’s why I turned, what used to be boring colored squares, into
shapes with numbers on them. After the sphere has been scrambled, the
object of the game is to get all nine triangles, nine pentagons, and eleven
squares in numerical order. It’s the same idea of the old Rubik’s Cube but
with a more innovative twist.
