This rolling cube interface concept is inspired by colorspace that I did some years ago. However here a spatial interface is laid out on a 2 dimensional plane. The cube can roll in four directions on the plan changing its color depending on the color axis it rolls on. This makes each little square on the surface unique by its color.

Interaction is done by pushing the mouse on the north, east, south or west arrow, furthermore the cube can be opened on each square by moving the mouse over the cube revieling some content - I have not worked much on that yet but in this example it is masked images.

I tested the interface on a floor where the interaction was done by tracking body movements much like ifloor and floorQuest but the use of perspective graphics and the constantly moving cube and plane made me dizzy while interacting. A nice input would be a physical cube much like the cubeSearch where inputs by turning and opening the cube could be mapped to a digital display.

To the right you can see how the interface is build up by different layers - no actual translation, remember "it is only cheating if you get caught".

To investigate other interaction modalities I tested controlling this interface through speech, it works very well with six different speech commands - see the video here (13mb)
