Features

The L3D Cube is a full color 8x8x8 LED cube that shows brilliant images and animations in 3D.
Easier to assemble than an Ikea shelf! Takes just 30 minutes, no soldering required.
No programming required to get started -- just assemble and plug it in. Comes preloaded with our most popular visualizations.
Once you're ready to start programming on the Cube, make new 3D apps in minutes using Processing or Arduino (a.k.a.Wiring).
Create and share your own 3D Cube apps online at CubeTube.org with a click of a button.
All of the hardware & software is completely open source under a Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 2.5 license.

Five ways to use your L3D Cube

Plug it in, no setup! A standard set of visualizations will automatically start playing when you first plug in your cube. *NEW: you can control the visualizations by tilting your cube, thanks to the included accelerometer!
Download new applications from CubeTube wirelessly to your cube with the click of a button.
Write your own programs for the Cube in Arduino language or Processing. The programs can be stored in the cube's memory or can be streamed to your cube from a computer over your WiFi network. Here's the definitive guide to programming in 3D in a cube.
Connect together multiple cubes and make them interact.
Hack it! Add your own sensors for new interactions or make improvements to your cube itself. Everything (hardware+software) is open-source and fully documented so hacking is fun!
