Cubes center around 1.5" displays

Sifteo has released its self-titled cubes, which were first shown at TED talk in 2009 and later debuted at CES. The diminutive devices feature 128x128 LCD screens spreading just 1.5 inches and doubling as a single button. The cubes serve as the basis of Sifteo's "Intelligent Play Platform," a unique interaction concept that enables users to play games such as chess, dominoes and jigsaw puzzles, or collaborate with music sequencers and math puzzles.
