The Rubik’s cube just got a big upgrade by a University of Massachusetts grad student. The colorful toy is now suitable for the blind and visually impaired by its new tactile makeover.
The Rubik’s’s Cube was invented in 1974 Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik, but just got a new life thanks to a University of Massachusetts grad student. Kristen Sharpless was given an assignment as part of her Vision Rehab Therapy class to adapt a recreational game for someone who is blind.
